My sound card is based on the AD1845JP. And it an ISA one. Also it is not Plug and
play -
my mobo. Old Pentium. I opened up the box and On the souind card changed some jumper
settings. IRQ is 10 and base add is 220xH. I gave the setting in sndconfig utility and
it
plays midi but not the waves files. Or even the CDs. Also it had one Jumper option
Epprrom
setting or something and Software setting. It was software setting that was on. Does it
make any difference.
As for pnpdump it gives a message no pnp devices found.
My sound card under windoze use to be recognized as Washington 16. I think.
