I'm trying to use ALSA (beta 0.9 beta 10-6 Debian package) on Linux 2.4.18 with an AWE64 Gold without success. It compiled just fine with the sbawe driver, and as far as I can tell I have it setup correctly. Alsaconf put the following in my modules.conf:
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-sbawe snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 snd_port=0x220 snd_mpu_port=0x300 snd_awe_port=0x620 snd_irq=7 snd_dma8=1 snd_dma16=5 snd_mic_agc=1 And my card was recognized fine by the kernel: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: Calling quirk for 01:00 isapnp: SB audio device quirk - increasing port range isapnp: Calling quirk for 01:02 isapnp: AWE32 quirk - adding two ports isapnp: Card 'Creative SB AWE64 Gold' isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total I can also load the OSS/Free modules just fine: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: Creative SB AWE64 Gold detected sb: ISAPnP reports 'Creative SB AWE64 Gold' at i/o 0x220, irq 7, dma 1, 5 SB 4.16 detected OK (220) <Sound Blaster 16 (4.16)> at 0x220 irq 7 dma 1,5 <Sound Blaster 16> at 0x300 irq 7 dma 0,0 sb: 1 Soundblaster PnP card(s) found.

This is a recent problem, I used to be able to play through the WaveTable just fine.) When I try "modprobe -v snd-sbawe" I get the following in my dmesg: sbawe: fatal error - EMU-8000 synthesizer not detected at 0x620 Sound Blaster 16 soundcard not found or device busy In case, if you have non-AWE card, try snd-card-sb16 module And this is on stdout: /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd.o snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd.o Symbol version prefix '' /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-seq-device.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-seq-device.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-rawmidi.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-rawmidi.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-mpu401-uart.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-mpu401-uart.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-hwdep.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-hwdep.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sb-common.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sb-common.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sb16-csp.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sb16-csp.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-timer.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-timer.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-opl3-lib.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-opl3-lib.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-pcm.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-pcm.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sb16-dsp.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sb16-dsp.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sbawe.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sbawe.o /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sbawe.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sbawe.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/alsa/snd-sbawe.o failed #
