I have a Dell with crystal sound running OK. I used pnpdump -c to create the /etc/isapnp.conf file but when running isapnp the system complained about not finding an IRQ for the MPU. I then changed the line in isapnp.conf reading
(CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING to (CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ WARNING)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING isapnp still complains but finishes working. Since I don't have any MIDI device to connect to I don't really need this thing. I can still play sounds. Off course, you have to compile the kernel with sound support and enter the proper parameters (you can take those from the isapnp.conf file). Alternatively, install the ALSA drivers at http://www.alsa-project.org/ (in fact, that's how I have my PC running now). -- Pedro I.

Does anyone have any success with the sound system and any kernel? Thanks for any help. -- -- Joel Keating
