i've just finished building kernel-2.2.15 and i think i've done everything to make my sound card work - SoundBlaster PCI 128 CT4700. below is the output of cat /dev/sndstat
**------------------ yakko:/home/patd# cat /dev/sndstat OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 Load type: Driver compiled into kernel Kernel: Linux yakko 2.2.15 #1 Sun Jun 18 03:02:09 EDT 2000 i586 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 5: Roland MPU-401 Type 26: MPU-401 (UART) Type 2: Sound Blaster Type 29: Sound Blaster PnP Type 7: SB MPU-401 Card config: (Sound Blaster at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1,5) (Roland MPU-401 at 0x330 irq 9 drq 0) (SB MPU-401 at 0x330 irq 1 drq 0) Audio devices: Synth devices: Midi devices: Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: **------------------ but i still get the message '/dev/dsp: No such device' when i run apps that can use sound. i've looked at the creative lab website to check out the cards hardware setting: Interrupt (IRQ): 5, 7, 9, 10 DMA Channel: 0, 1, 3 Sound Blaster I/O Address #1: 220, 240 Sound Blaster I/O Address #2: 388 Base/MIDI port I/O Address: 320, 330, 340, 350 Wave Synthesizer I/O Address: 530, E80, F40 Hex are the "Card config:" values from above correct with regards the hardware info? my sound card is my only PCI device. dmesg has some bad output concerning PCI device. PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfb4d0 PCI: Using configuration type 1 PCI: Probing PCI hardware PCI: 00:3b [1106/3040/000604] has unknown header type 00, ignoring. could this be the problem? what does this mean? but dmesg also tells me: Sound initialization started Sound initialization complete which makes me thinks that maybe things are okay. lastly i read in the kernel sound docs that to make /dev/dsp work i need to configure the kernel for 'digitized_voice_support'. however i did not encounter this option when i did 'make xconfig'. if i do have to turn this option how do i do so. thanks pd
