Thanks for that, but i could'nt get it to work ;-(
I'm sure i have almost the same card as you have.
(Aztech 16-bit Sound galaxy pro),
It is compatible with both sb16 and mwss. and sets galaxy=foo in
autoexec.bat.
Here's my problem now:
First of all, this module (sgalaxy.o) isnt there in 2.0.32.
So i upgraded it to 2.0.36. then i removed everything from
/etc/conf.modules and restarted the computer. Here are some
results i got.
bash# lsmod
bash# modprobe sgalaxy io=0x530 irq=11 sgbase=0x220 dma=1 dma2=0
/lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/sgalaxy.o: device or resource busy
sound: device or resource busy.
bash# lsmod
ad1848 blah blah
soundlow blah blah
soundcore blah blah
sound blah blah
bash# rmmod ad1848; rmmod soundlow; rmmod sound;
bash# lsmod
soundcore (used by 0)
bash# rmmod soundcore
soundcore: device or resource busy.
You get it? i remove all instances and the sound is certainly not being
used still i cant remove soundcore. and yes i have tried different irq's
(5, 7 , 9 and 11) and io=0x530 (as in dos) but all i get is device or
resource busy.
Infact, i get this device or resource busy on trying to load any sound
module (pss.o, sgalaxy.o or whatever).
Did you need to recompile the kernel to get your sound card working?
Also, in my DOS setting there is no option for mwss irq no.. I heard
that irq=11 is the default, but isn't it used by the display.
Thanks anyway.
