hi! i have a sound blaster 16 pnp (vibra16x / ct4170) which i just can't get running.
i installed the 0.9.6 driver, utils, tools, library and oss package according to the manual, no errors or warnings anywhere. alsaconf even detects the sound card and sets /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 accordingly: # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd major=116 cards_limit=1 options snd-sb16 index=0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- whenever i modprobe the snd-sb16 driver, however, i get the following: # modprobe -v snd-sb16 /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/seq/snd-seq-device.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/seq/snd-seq-device.o Symbol version prefix '' /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-rawmidi.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-rawmidi.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401-uart.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401-uart.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-timer.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-timer.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/drivers/opl3/snd-opl3-lib.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/drivers/opl3/snd-opl3-lib.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb-common.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb-common.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-csp.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-csp.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-page-alloc.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-page-alloc.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-pcm.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/acore/snd-pcm.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-dsp.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-dsp.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/support/pnp/snd-pnp.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/support/pnp/snd-pnp.o /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o index=0 Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/ snd-sb16.o failed # delete snd-pnp # delete snd-sb16-dsp # delete snd-pcm # delete snd-page-alloc # delete snd-sb16-csp # delete snd-sb-common # delete snd-opl3-lib # delete snd-hwdep # delete snd-timer # delete snd-mpu401-uart # delete snd-rawmidi # delete snd-seq-device /lib/modules/2.4.21-dbox/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: insmod snd-sb16 failed i've already tried using isapnptools, rebuilding the driver with --with-isapnp=no, but the result is the same. also, i tried setting the dma8 and dma16 by force (due to http://www.djcj.org/LAU/guide/Sound-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.35 ) by modifying the /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 file as follows: was: options snd-sb16 index=0 changed: options snd-sb16 index=0 dma8=1 dma16=1 afterwards, i ran "update-modules" and again tried a modprobe, with the same result as above (also using different build options for the sb16 driver : with and without isapnp). the funny thing is: the same configuration works on another distribution without any trouble (same kernel, same config, same driver version and tools). anyway, i'm fresh out of ideas... i would appreciate any and all help! thanks in advance, matthias ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
