Heres my original message that seemed to get lost. As I mentioned in the second posting I can get ascd to play audio Cd's but if I do a cat audio.file > /dev/audio I get the timed out error and no sound. xmm also doesnt work it seems to hang. Any ideas? thanks Ewan Hello, well now to my next problem the sound config. I have the Yamaha OPL3-SA3 loading as a module on my modified kernel RH6.0. /var/log/messages show its Found OK although it doesnt say Initiated etc since its a module. Here is my /dev/sndstat file OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 Load type: Driver loaded as a module Kernel: Linux Satellite 2.2.5-15 #2 Thu Nov 4 12:32:25 PET 1999 i586 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Card config: Audio devices: 0: MS Sound System (CS4231) (DUPLEX) Synth devices: 0: Yamaha OPL3 Midi devices: 0: MPU-401 0.0 Midi interface #1 Timers: 0: System clock 1: MS Sound System (CS4231) Mixers: 0: OPL3-SA3 and AD1848 (through MSS) 1: MS Sound System (CS4231) and here is the etc/conf.modules file alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start keep alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start keep alias sound opl3sa2 pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1 alias midi opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options opl3sa2 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 mpu_io=0x330 io=0x370 All the io's etc are exactly the same as in win95 config. If I do a cat /file >/dev/audio nothing happens If I start up xmms I can see the options for the sound drivers under the libOSS driver but when I load a sound file it locks. Looking again at my /var/log/messages theres a Sound DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error which OK I know is the io IRQ stuff but how can it be different to the config under windows.
