Hello Everybody,
I am trying to get my sound card to work under Linux. I am running
Slackware, kernel 2.2.2. I can get the sound card to work if I compile it
into the kernel, but while installing it as a module, there is no sound.
On doing lsmod the sound module is shown to be loaded. There is a
corresponding entry in the syslog file stating sound initialization started
and sound initialization complete.
While booting up the system, I get a message on the screen
Sound initialization started
Yamaha OPL3 at 0x388
Sound initialization complete
I have a Soundblaster 16.
Using dmesg I get another message
PIIX: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 38
PIIX: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PIIX: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)
PIIX: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
While there is nothing wrong with the system, but this message started
appearing after I installed the new kernel, so I have a feeling that there
is something that I missed out when compiling the kernel.
I had left an audio CD inside the CDROM drive, while rebooting the system
I got the message
hdc: command error: status=0x51 (DriveReady SeekComplete Error)
hdc: command error: error=0x50
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc) sector 64
isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=16:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32
ATAPI device hdc:
Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)
Illegal mode for this track or incompatible medium -- (asc=0x64,
ascq=0x00)
What is the meaning of this message???? On doing a mount command I saw
that the CDROM was not mounted.
Any suggestions as to where I could be going wrong with regards to the
compile of the kernel.
Thanks in advance,
Samarth
