Non Intel sound cards' drivers issue

[Nikoloz Geldiashvili]

For most of non Intel sound cards drivers are not installed automatically and hard to find, install from software app and need to manually configure.
AlsaMixer and alsa utils (https://www.alsa-project.org) or like (if any) must be built in and integrated to system's sound control panel for fixing this issue.

All drivers included in the kernel are available just like the one for
Intel HDA compatible chips.

$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "snd-*.ko.xz"|wc -l
262

Not all of these are separate sound chip drivers, but still there are
over a hundred distinct drivers.

But what is the issue and what do you think is missing from ALSA or some
control panel? Which control panel are you talking about?

Please be more specific and file a bug report at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/

There are no sound card drivers that you can install from the software 
app.  All drivers are included with the kernel.  You need to explain 
what you think is missing.

Most desktop environments have their own sound control panels that use 
the standard interfaces.  Again, what specifically do you think is 
missing or not working?

You need to provide more detail than "non intel sound cards" like if
it's a sound card on a motherboard, an Arm device or a pcie add-on
card. Do you get any output from "lspci | grep -i audio"?

Also this is a little out of scope for devel@ it's probably better
suited for the user list.
