Re: sound problem -ES1869
Thanks for the tip. I tried setting the IRQ to 10, as suggested with modprobe sb esstype=1869 irq=10 I then got the error: kernel: sb: Interrupt test on IRQ10 failed - Probable IRQ conflict looking at /proc/interrupts shows: 0: timer 1: keyboard 2: cascade 10: soundblaster 11: eth0 12: PS/2 Mouse 14: ide0 15: ide1 There is a second column between these two labeled CPUO. It has a non zero value for all but 2, 10, NMI, and ERR. Can anyone offer any further ideas?

IRQ7 is typically used by the first parallel port. You might want to try a different interrupt for your audio chip (such as IRQ10)). -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: sound problem -ES1869
Thanks! IRQ 5 works. I can now play wav and mp3 files with XMMS. Confused as to why the /proc/interrups file didn't help me. Can you now tell me how to get midi file capability? xmms does not play my midi files. neither does playmidi or mpg123. I get the error: open /dev/sequencer: No such device or address What must I do to configure a midi player? Thanks again for the help!

I looked at an interrupt level table (the table that I showed in my previous response) and your /proc/interrupts. From your /proc/interrupts, I saw which interrupts you were using, and with my table, I could see which interrupts were safe to use.

sound problem -ES1869
I have a Compaq presario with audio chip on the motherboard. The chip is ES1869. Previous advice got me this far ... I load the module with 'modprobe sb esstype=1869.' I get this error: ESS chip ES1869 specified kernel: sb: Interrupt test of IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict. The utility 'saytime' works, but with long delays between words. I can identify no cards using IRQ 7. My ethernet card uses IRQ 11. Can anyone help me troubleshoot? Thanks much, Russ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
