When I used sndconfig (LM7.1), it added these lines to /etc/conf.modules
alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx
options sb support=1
The PCI probe found ...
model: VIA Technologies | VT82cxxx
[Apolo Super AC97/Audio]
However, sndconfig hangs up the server while testing a sound file.
I have to do a hard-boot reboot to get the machine back up. But then
the server locks up upon bootup when it tries to load the sound driver
inside conf.modules I can hard-boot again and remove the driver to fix it.
I did find /lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/misc/via82cxxx.o
but how do I use it since sounddrake gives no options for VIA Tech ?
When I used sounddrake, it added these lines to /etc/conf.modules
for generic sound, irq 7 (same thing for 5)...
alias sound sb
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=0
sounddrake gives: error in modprobe call !
/lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
/lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/misc/sb.o: insmod

For SB 16(a or b) sound, irq 7 (same thing for 5)...
alias sound sb
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=0 dma16=0 mpu_io=0x330
Same error message as above.
Which driver do I use for this sound card ? What settings ?
Other recommendations ?
Thanks... Dan.
