I want to thank everyone who replied. I'm sorry it took so long to get
back to this, but tonight is the first night that I've been able to play
:)
I've consulted the Sound-HOWTO, the SoundBlaster-HOWTO, the
Kernel-HOWTO, and various emails from the arhives and Dejanews. Yet I
still have no sound. I don't know what my problem is. One problem I'm
having is with the HOWTOs. Some are old and list kernel options that
aren't available/are different in the 2.2.9 kernel. So I'm not sure what
and where I'm screwing up.
So I'll try to list what I've done and hopefully someone can spot where
I went wrong.
I've made some progress. I've been able to get my isapnp.conf file to
yield no errors. However, none of the options matched what I wrote down
from my windows sound settings, so I changed them to reflect them.
Isapnp runs without bombing though, so I'm assuming that what I did was
okay.
I then installed the awe-drv and awe-midi packages.
After that, I configured my kernel and made the following selections
under sound:
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=m
CONFIG_LOWLEVEL_SOUND=y
CONFIG_AWE32_SYNTH=m
(I think that's it. I pulled these from my .config)
After installing the new kernel and rebooting I ran modprobe -a sound,
that does nothing. Also there is no sound entry under /proc/devices. cat
/dev/sndstat yields nothing also.
Any ideas?
TIA
