What card is this? Is it a non-pnp 8-bit soundblaster? Looks like it might be, considering its an ISA. Believe it or not I actually tried one of these throw-backs out recently and got it to work well with the alsa drivers (well is relative considering its only 8-bit).
If the ioport/dma/irq are set already, you don't need to configure it with pnp. Just use the alsa driver (compile it if you have a custom kernel), and pass these as parameters to the modules when loaded. I remember trying the OSS modules and they made that chirping sound you are talking about. -jackp --- jekler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Debian Users: > > I'm new to Debian and I'm having a problem configuring my > sound card. > I've read numerous resources, mailing lists archives, > and documentation > on the subject, but I'm just not able to do it.
