So far I have encountered three significant problems with 8.1 cooker: 1) USB modem fails to configure. 2) CDR fails to work with X-CD-Roast (works fine under 7.2). 3) Midi synth fails.
Of these the midi problem concerns me most right now. My system has an onboard ALS120 sound chipset that works fine under 7.2. However under 8.1 and cooker the install leaves the sound working OK but the without OPL3 or MPU401. The ALS120 has never been recognized by HardDrake, I don't know whether this has something to do with the onboard chipset or what, but it doesn't work. So I use RedHat's sndconfig instead. And sndconfig works fine on the sound module but crashes fatally on OPL3. So my next move was to physically disable onboard sound and install a Crystal 4235 chipset ISA soundcard. Now HardDrake recognises it as a Crystal cs4232 chipset. It also recognises the associated MPU-401. So now I do the 'Run Configuration Tool' and the response is: Crystal PNP Audio System CODEC. 'OK' produces: Error in modprobe call! STOP modprobe: Can't locate module isa-pnp. OK, so now we go to sndconfig. Response: Model: Crystal Codec:GAME. Ok, Sample sound will be played. Ok, Sound is fine 'Yes'. Midi sample will now be played, Ok. modprobe error - The following error occurred running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o.gz: insmod synth0 failed This is similar to the error I get with the ALS120. Kudzu recognises the ALS120, but not the Crystal 4235. My 8.1 drive is DevFS, my Cooker drive is not, both are having the same problem with OPL3. The problems with the modem and the CDR I can understand but I would think that by this time these standard sound chips would in fact have become pretty much plug and play. In fact they work right now with 7.2 (I still have the 7.2 drive), but not with 8.1????? Anybody have any ideas on this one?
