Ah, a new card to try... This time it is an Ensonic ESS-1869 that is built into an older Compaq laptop (Armada 3500). When I put in the "setup" disk, it reports that the sound card has the following I/O stuff: IRQ 5 DMA 1 DMA 5 ports at 0x0220 thru 0x022F (16 ports) ports at 0x0388 thru 0x038B (4 ports) ports at 0x0330 thru 0x0331 (2 ports) some other port range at 0x0250 thru 0x0257 (8 ports).
In reading the driver I see that "port" reserves 16, "fm_port" reserves 4, and "mpu_port" reserves 2. Being a "nice guy" I attempt to load the module with insmod, and the file "modules.conf" has: ... alias snd-card-0 snd-es18xx options snd-es18xx id="first" enable=1 dma1=1 dma2=5 irq=5 port=0x220 \ fm_port=0x338 mpu_port=0x330 ... But all is not well as I get an error upon doing an insmod: .../es18xx.c:2256: ESS AudioDrive ES18xx soundcard not found or device busy. Am I missing something simple to get this thing working?? From the look of things, I should have all the stuff working. I even attempted to try an ISAPNP, but that didn't appear to work either. Any better ideas from the group. ...Thanks ===== -- Tom Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Get better spam protection with Yahoo!
