Hello, Well, I finally got some noise out of my SB16 compatible sound card! A special thanks to everyone who helped!
I finally got it working by using pnpdump to configure my PNP card, and I upgraded to the 2.0.36 kernel and used make xconfig following the Instructions in the CMI8330 Mini-Howto... I compiled my sound as a module. I can now use freeamp and play mp3 files. They sound pretty good. NOW THE PROBLEM: Question #1: I installed the rvplayer using the .deb file in slink and the sound from it is all static. I tried playing the file that is in the /usr/doc/rvplayer/examples directory and it can be heard, but there is some strange static. All links to the internet (radio stations) I tried were complete static! Even the realaudio site where it does its demo thing. Does anyone know how to get the rvplayer to work? Question #2: My sound card has SB16 compatible mode, WSS mode, and a MPU-401 mode. I have base I/O addresses irq's and dma setting for each of these that are setup in the isapnp.conf file. for the MPU-401 stuff, I had conflicting information on what to add into the sound configuration,I had some instructions saying to set the IRQ to -1 and other instructions to set it to 9 as my isapnp.conf file show it. I have tried it both ways and everything seems to work the same. Does anyone know how this should be set up? Thanks, Doug Thistlethwaite
