8 tristate "Sound card support"
10 If you have a sound card in your computer, i.e. if it can say more
11 than an occasional beep, say Y. Be sure to have all the information
12 about your sound card and its configuration down (I/O port,
13 interrupt and DMA channel), because you will be asked for it.
15 You want to read the Sound-HOWTO, available from
16 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. General information about
17 the modular sound system is contained in the files
18 <file:Documentation/sound/oss/Introduction>. The file
19 <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS> contains some slightly
20 outdated but still useful information as well. Newer sound
21 driver documentation is found in <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/*>.
23 If you have a PnP sound card and you want to configure it at boot
24 time using the ISA PnP tools (read
25 <http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/>), then you need to
26 compile the sound card support as a module and load that module
27 after the PnP configuration is finished. To do this, choose M here
28 and read <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.modules>; the module
29 will be called soundcore.
31 I'm told that even without a sound card, you can make your computer
32 say more than an occasional beep, by programming the PC speaker.
33 Kernel patches and supporting utilities to do that are in the pcsp
34 package, available at <ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/pcsp/>.

47 Say 'Y' or 'M' to enable ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture),
48 the new base sound system.

102 This is used to avoid config and link hard dependencies between the
103 sound subsystem and other function drivers completely unrelated to
104 sound although they're sharing the AC97 bus. Concerned drivers
105 should "select" this.
