Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
I get the error in the subject line when I try to run mp3blaster on a mp3-file. I have tried xmms, alsaplayer and freeamp and they also fail. I can play CD's without a problem.

The error is pretty much what's happening: you have an IRQ conflict. If you have an ISA card, is there something that's already on the IRQ line? If you have a PCI card, is there something that is hogging the IRQ? I can play CD's without a problem. How can I find out what the problem is and how to solve it? CD Direct Audio (CDDA) makes the bus irrelevant. The only thing that can stop CDDA from going out to the speaker is a loss of power to the card (usually from a loss of power to the entire computer...) or a broken wire. To find out your IRQ problems, first take a look at /proc/interrupts, and also the dmesg output. Change the IRQ on the sound card to something you KNOW isn't taken or change whatever else is trying to use the sound card's IRQ to something else. This may require a trip to the BIOS to reserve an IRQ or two in hardware. Johann -- Customer: I'm running Windows '98 Tech: Yes. Customer: My computer isn't working now. Tech: Yes, you said that.

Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
g'day all - I'm running OSS/Free SB16 drivers with my AWE64 on Linux 2.2.10. Whenever I try to send anything to /dev/dsp or /dev/audio, I xconsole shows this message: spire kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? (Yes, I've done all the necessary pry-configuration -- isapnp configures the card correctly, and the modules load fine) ... and I recieve no output from my speakers. Many applications cause this same situation, such as grip (a graphical CD player/track ripper). Strangely, however, some applications (notably bb and wine) are able to play sound without any difficulty. This strikes me as somewhat odd. Does it sound like an OSS/Free problem? Should I try alsa or a newer kernel version, perhaps? -- ..Aaron Van Couwenberghe...

Even though it wasn't listed in the /proc/interrupts my video card was on IRQ 10 and was causing similar problems with my AWE32 (until I changed it to IRQ 5). Occasionally, if a lot of background processing is happening I still receive that error and sound will skip a bit but I assume that is unavoidable (correct?). -- Ashley Clark
RE: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
In my case (using the soundblaster driver for my AWE32), this was caused by memory getting fragmented enough that the sound driver couldn't allocate a DMA buffer. The docs told me to add the option dmabuf=1 to my `modprobe -a sound` call. AFAIK this only works on 2.2 kernels. I'm not at home and cant remember how to get the options sound dmabuf=1 line into /etc/conf.modules (or modules.conf), but look in that file and it should have a pointer to the man page to read about it. pax.

Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
I have spent about a week trying to figure out why neither my Creative Labs SB16 or AWE64 work under Debian (2.2.4 2.1) I think it has to do with the way my motherboard handles the irq's and pnp etc. Today I finally got it stop telling me there is a conflict on IRQ 5 when in fact, nothing is using IRQ 5. Now all audio such as `saytime` `bplay file.wav` work so do my mixers `aumix` etc. But! When I enter x11amp and open a mp3 file and click play it just pauses there with the play button. I tried using mpg123 in console and it gave me: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? contineusly as it tried to play it. Has anyone had this same problem before? My motherboard uses AMI BIOS and is ATX and I have no clue what the brandname is... it's model is PT-2011 and it's a socket 7 board (I can find out the actualy manufacturer if I looked up the FCC code-- I allready know this)

I had a little bit of trouble, and here is what I did to solve it:
1. run pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf
2. Edit isapnp.conf and uncomment the configuration that I wanted
3. run isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf to configure the sound card
4. Load the sb module automagically with kmod
(or manually with modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=3)
I've attached my isapnp.conf without comments, so you can see what it is
that needs to be uncommented.
