Ok guys and gals, After 9 months of having a mute linux system, I have acquired a real soundblaster 16 pnp. But, of course I can't get it to make noise.
I have kernel 2.2.7 running. I have installed the soundcore and sound modules, sb module will not install for me, saying that either the device is busy, or that i input the wrong parameters. I have tried to install sb module with parameters such as I/O=0x220, IRQ=5, DMA=1,5 but it doesn't like the I/O characters. So I tried, 0x220, 5, 1 no lucky. I used pnpdump. Then loaded edited the file. Loaded it via isapnp, and it seemed to work, but didn't. cat /dev/sndstat. says this: ------------------------------------- OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 Load type: Driver loaded as a module Kernel: Linux gibby 2.2.7 #2 Mon May 10 13:25:46 EST 1999 i586 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Card config: Audio devices: Synth devices: Midi devices: Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: gibby:~# ------------------------------- This is after an isapnp /etc/sound Any help Rod....
