so i've decided not to let my tecra8000 laptop get away with it, and to give one last effort to making the sound work (which did work a few months ago with mandrake 8.2 and 2 years ago with windows.)
machine : toshiba tecra8000 running kernel : 2.4.18-bf2.4 precompiled. sound chip :(YMF715E or YMF719E) loaded module : opl3-sa3 here's my lsmod : # lsmod |grep opl opl3sa2 7776 0 (autoclean) ad1848 20640 0 (autoclean) [opl3sa2] mpu401 18720 0 (autoclean) [opl3sa2] sound 52844 0 (autoclean) [opl3sa2 ad1848 mpu401] isa-pnp 27400 0 (autoclean) [opl3sa2 ad1848] here's the latest opl3 related dmesg entries : # dmesg |grep opl opl3sa2: No PnP cards found opl3sa2: Search for a card at 0x1336. opl3sa2: chipset version = 0x5 opl3sa2: Found OPL3-SA3 (YMF715E or YMF719E) opl3sa2: Control I/O port 0x538 not free opl3sa2: There was a problem probing one of the ISA PNP cards, continuing opl3sa2: Control I/O port 0x538 not free opl3sa2: There was a problem probing one of the ISA PNP cards, continuing opl3sa2: Control I/O port 0x538 not free opl3sa2: There was a problem probing one of the ISA PNP cards, continuing and here's my modules.conf relevant entries : alias synth0 opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 note - for some reason, there's no sound device displayed in lspci. so the modules are loading with no errors in loading time, and dmesg seems to recognize the device, but i cant get sound to work, not with arts, not with alsa. (alsaconf says that it cant load module snd, and gives a bunch of ugly debug info.) HELP ! my fingers a bleeding from googling for information, and there's aint much info about that damm piece of crup out there ! (that damm old laptop, i need a new one!) :) -- ============================== Tal Amir, Founder, Owner Whatsup, Hebrew Linux Portal.
