一些Linux用戶經常詢問這樣的問題：Linux能兼容XXX卡麼？其實，Linux是一個開放性的系統，只要通過Linux愛好者們的努力，Linux可以兼容任何硬件。
先來說說聲卡。首先要知道聲卡的類型，或者是某種聲卡兼容的。如果內核不能把這種聲卡檢測出來，那麼就需要安裝這種聲卡的驅動模塊，來安裝聲卡。
例如，市面上常見的聲卡Creative Vibra 128使用的驅動模塊是es1371，Creative PCI 128使用的模塊是es1370等等。
redhatlinux中用sndconfig來設置聲卡，如果沒有某個模塊，就需要重新編譯內核(編譯最新發布的linux內核)，如果還不行，只好用ALSA 音效驅動程式。
ALSA 音效驅動程式原本是寫來取代 Gravis UltraSound 卡的Linux核心驅動程式的。當實證這取代得很成功,它和OSS/Free 及OSS/Linux音效驅動程式相容(核心的驅動程式),但它有比OSS驅動程式更好的本身介面。
ALSA音效驅動程式可在http://www.alsa-project.org/找到。到發稿時最新版本為0.5.9d ALSA 音效驅動程式是建為模組的。下面是ALSA支持的聲卡類型。
