Passing a 16-bit dma, simply did not work. Maybe your card is not a > VIBRA16, I know that mine is beacuse it is what the bios detects at boot time.
pnpdump seems to think my SB16PnP is a ViBRA: $ cat /etc/isapnp.conf ....SNIP... # Card 1: (serial identifier e5 ff ff ff ff 70 00 8c 0e) # Vendor Id CTL0070, No Serial Number (-1), checksum 0xE5. # Version 1.0, Vendor version 1.0 # ANSI string -->Creative ViBRA16C PnP<-- ....SNIP... i don't remember what it detects at boot time, it's been such a while since i last rebooted, and bios messages don't end up in my logs. Which type of ViBRA16 do you have? A quick websearch turned up several different chips named "ViBRA16?? PnP" > The related text in the kernel doc is given below: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/VIBRA16, of course.
