How can you enable a generic USB soundcard in Fedora 9?
Asked by Catfishchris
There are no actual "generic" USB sound devices. Run the command lsusb in your terminal. It should list the make and model, or at least the chipset, of your USB device. Then, look on ALSA's website to see if it is supported. If it is not,then there is not really anything you can do to use it, except wait for the ALSA team to develop a new kernel module for it.
Which Linux distribution would be the best for an acer laptop from the perspective of ease of use drivers support and packages for development fedora freespire or pclinuxos?
Asked by Wiki User
Freespire is arguably the easiest one to install packages on, though I dislike certain aspects of "CNR." It also allows (or did allow) the easy installation of proprietary drivers, which most distributions do not include by default. PCLinuxOS has an all-around nicer interface, and better tools for configuring the system. Fedora is more traditional, and styled similarly to Red Hat Linux. Though I seldom find any distro "difficult" to use, Fedora, is probably not the best choice for a novice user.
