Hello, I have been trying for about a week to get an ess Allegro sound card to work under Linux( Debian 3.0 ) and/or BSD (FreeBSD 4.5 ). The card is recognized under Linux (using the maestro3.o module on kernel 2.4 and 2.2) with the following parameters : IRQ 5 io=0x1400 ... , but no sound is emitted.
However, after having booted into Windows (where the card works), and rebooted into Linux, the card functions correctly. After a shutdown, the sound card no longer fuctions (recognized, but no sound). I have already changed the BIOS on the laptop (the BIOS is O/S independant instead of a standard BIOS as the BIOS does not have a PNP O/S option), compiled the maestro3 driver (in static and module, support for both with Plug'nPlay and without), tried alsa drivers, pressed the speaker key Fn+F6, disactivated the USB which shares IRQ 5 with the card, etc.... nothing seems to work. Under BSD, the same thing happens, sound after a hot reboot into Windows or no sound at all. How is it that I can get the card to initialize under Windows (registry?) and not Linux? Any ideas? -- stef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
