Package: linux-image-2.6.14-2-386 Version: 2.6.14-3 Severity: normal My "SB16 value" cards (ISA, afaik no PNP) don't work with ALSA. The words "SB16 value" are litererally printed on the card. As I found out, these seem to be SB16's without a MIDI interface (but with OPL3).
The OSS modules work perfectly with the /etc/modules entries sb irq=5 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330 dma=1 dma16=5 opl3 io=0x388 The corresponding ALSA line snd-sb16 irq=5 port=0x220 mpu_port=0x330 dma8=1 dma16=5 isapnp=0 simply says FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb16 (/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-386/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.ko): No such device FATAL: Error running install command for snd_sb16 and puts Sound Blaster 16 soundcard not found or device busy In case, if you have AWE card, try snd-sbawe module into dmesg. As there may be no MPU I tried with mpu_port=0 and various other variations (isapnp=1 etc). I tried with two cards in different machines, and several kernel versions (2.4 from sarge with alsa modules, 2.6.12, 2.6.14). OSS says (in dmesg) about this card (using the parameters from above): sb: Init: Starting Probe... sb: Probing legacy card with io=220, irq=5, dma=1, dma16=5 SB 4.12 detected OK (220) sb: Turning on MPU sb: Init: Done YM3812 and OPL-3 driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen, Rob Hooft 1993-1996 The other card I have is detected as SB 4.13 (i think, at least a small difference in the version number) and is jumpered to IRQ7 instead of IRQ5. alsaconf simply tries to use alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16 options snd-sb16 index=0 isapnp=0 which fails as well. Bug#339825 and the fact that the kernel developers are going to remove OSS tell me that I really want to use ALSA instead of OSS... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (850, 'testing'), (800, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.14-2-386 depends on: ii module-init-tools 3.2-pre9-4 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii yaird [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.0.11-10 Yet Another mkInitRD linux-image-2.6.14-2-386 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
