No. The sound is an essential part of the game, and ST will refuse to run without sound support as described in 2.1.

The SignaLink SL-1 and SL-1+ only pass audio signals to and from the sound card, so they will work with ANY sound card that has a microphone input and a speaker output. The SignaLink Model SL-1+ also works sound card Line Input and Line Output jacks for greater flexibility. What you should really be asking is if the software will work with your computer and sound card.

Look in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules under the Sound Support section. There are several examples of modprobe lines for various sound cards. Yours may be listed. If it isn't, you can look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound for specific sound card information. Once you have the appropriate modprobe line or lines for your sound card, add them to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to have the driver load at boot time.

With the current sound driver it's possible to have several SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster/Pro, SoundBlaster16, MPU-401 or MSS cards at the same time on the system. Installing two SoundBlasters is possible but requires defining the macros SB2_BASE, SB2_IRQ, SB2_DMA and (in some cases) SB2_DMA2 by editing local.h manually. It's also possible to have a SoundBlaster at the same time as a PAS16. With the 2.0 and newer kernels that configure sound using make config, instead of local.

modprobe cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 note that, although this works for one of the authors, you may need to adjust the settings.

The modem does not have the required hardware to perform this function without a Full duplex sound card. No special connections are required between the sound card and the modem. When the sound card and HSP modem are installed properly with all the correct drivers, the sound cards microphone and speakers will be used for the Speaker Phone feature.

The good news is, most computers nowadays do have sound cards, and a set of typical basic speakers usually costs only $10 - $20. You can buy computer speakers at most computer stores and electronics stores, and the larger office supply stores. You might get the best price on speakers at a medium-size or smallish computer store that assembles custom PCs in-house and also sells parts. You may want to try looking under "Computers - Supplies & Parts" in your local Yellow Pages.

macam focuses on video. Cameras that have microphones almost universally use USB Audio Class for sound. This enables the system software driver to use the camera microphone while macam handles the video. The macam application does not record sound for movies, this is a deliberate choice [what should it sound like at 10x?]. The macam component lets the system deal with sound.

About 90% of all hardware available for the PC is supported under Linux. In general, well established brand names will always work, these will tend to cost more though. New graphics/network cards are always being released onto the market, If you buy one of these, you may have to wait many months before support becomes available (if ever). This may not be up to date, so its best to go to the various references listed in this document and get the latest info.

Not necessarily having no sound is typically caused by one of the following problems and not related to a bad or damaged sound card. This can typically be adjusted by double clicking the speaker icon in the system tray and adjusting the volume or disabling the mute option at the bottom of the volume control slider if enabled.

Please note when you are uploading your video if you wish to include sound and/or fix the quality of sound you must follow the following steps to insure that your video has the proper sound. Once you log into the video section and are ready to record your video right click over top of the video screen. From the menu, click on "Settings", then click on the picture of a microphone that is at the bottom of the box.

Soundstream consists of moving particles that bloom when the microphone picks up a loud noise. It's fairly sensitive, so you can yell at it from across the hall and have it show onscreen. With pitch response, the stream still cycles through the colors of the rainbow, but a significant difference in the sound spectrum causes a shift in color. It's not perfect for lack of a good algorithm and a desire to minimize CPU usage, but it sure looks cool! You'll want to tweak certain settings.

Using good quality shielded cables and trying the sound card in different slots may help reduce noise. If the sound card has a volume control, you can try different settings (maximum is probably best). Using a mixer program you can make sure that undesired inputs (e.g. microphone) are set to zero gain. Philipp Braunbeck reported that on his ESS-1868 sound card there was a jumper to turn off the built-in amplifier which helped reduce noise when enabled.

Another variant is the beep program found at ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/kernel/patches/misc/modreq_beep.tgz The modutils package has an example program and kernel patch that supports calling an arbitrary external program to generate sounds when requested by the kernel. Version 2.0 and later of KDE allows playing a sound file for the console beep in KDE applications such as konsole.
