NAME

       sndconfig - configure sound card for use with Linux kernel modules

SYNOPSIS

       sndconfig {--help,--noprobe,--noautoconfig}

DESCRIPTION

       sndconfig sets up the necessary configuration files to use a sound card on a Red Hat system. If PnP support is compiled in, by default snd-
       config will do an initial probe for PnP sound cards using the pnpdump utility.  If the --noprobe option is given this step will be skipped.
       The  user  will	be notified if any cards were found. Otherwise the user must pick the card type from a menu. Then the user must choose the
       I/O port, IRQ, and DMA settings for the sound card. These must be known ahead of time and depend upon the  jumper  settings  of	the  sound
       card.   For PnP cards, the program will determine settings for the card; if the --noautoconfig option is given the user can choose the val-
       ues which will be programmed into the PnP device. There is no guarantee that the values entered do not conflict with an existing non-PnP or
       PnP device.  The user must make sure these types of conflicts do not occur.

   OPTIONS
       --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.

       --noprobe
	      No probe will be made for PnP cards, and the PnP configuration files will not be changed.

       --noautoconfig
	      No autoconfiguration of PnP cards will be done; the user will be prompted for settings.
