I am using my on board soundcard [ with VIA chipset]. Now , actually I use Redhat linux. In this distro , system cant recognize my sound card. but in ubuntu , it can be gotten without any pain i mean its by default !

Now , is there any way I can copy those drivers from ubuntu to red hat linux so that , I can use sound card in Red hat Linux too ?

regards

It's Linux, you have the source code, you can do anything.

You could write a new driver for your soundcard from scratch.

But, it might be best to first troubleshoot RedHat.

What motherboard model do you have in that machine?

My motherboard for that machine is "ASUS K8V - X" . I am running AMD 64 2800+ Processor.

The Asus K8V-X motherboard includes an Analog Devices AD1980, 6-channel CODEC.

The AD1980 appears not to be nicely supported by RedHat Linux, and the recommended fix is to install the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.

ALSA does support the AD1980.
