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 com­
       piled in, by default sndconfig 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 values 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.
