Yes. Cutting and pasting from my earlier post: My sound card is a Shark Predator ISA. It's pretty obscure (I had to send in a patch to get it recognized). It works fine in Alsa 0.5 with the ad1816a driver. It also works fine with oss. I am running Mandrake 8, kernel 2.4.3-20mdk. Using 0.9.0 beta 9, Alsa malfunctions in the following way: -- If I go to alsamixer, I find that the sound gets louder the *lower* I set the volume, so it's loudest at 0 and can't be heard at all at 100. -- aplay <filename> only plays the first half second of the sound, which keeps repeating over and over. A couple of seconds later I get this error: aplay: pcm_write:934: write error: Input/output error The sound does not stop and keeps repeating until I actually stop Alsa. I compiled the driver with debug; /var/log/messages shows this: Nov 19 14:39:42 localhost kernel: ALSA pcm_lib.c:1864: playback write error (DMA or IRQ trouble?) Nov 19 14:39:52 localhost kernel: ALSA pcm_native.c:1250: playback drain error ( DMA or IRQ trouble?) As far as I can tell, my DMA and IRQ settings are correct. The relevant settings from my /etc/modules.conf are: alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ad1816a options snd-card-ad1816a snd_port=0x500 snd_mpu_port=0x300 snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_irq=5 snd_mpu_irq=7 snd_dma1=1 snd_dma2=0 [The same settings work in alsa 0.5. Someone later suggested that I use port 220 instead of 500. That didn't help. Either 220 or 500 works in Alsa 0.5. Taking out the options and letting PNP set up the card didn't help either.] Here is my /proc/isapnp.
