That should play any sound file perfectly.
Let's just have a bit of a re-cap on this one. Please could you type the following commands and paste the output into an email. No need to type anything to the right of the '#'. That's just a comment. 1) uname -r # what kernel version is running? If you could do these two at the same time as sound is being played we would then see exactly what ports and irqs are bing used. 2) cat /proc/interrupts # what interrupts? 3) cat /proc/ioports # and ports? Have you got the sound card's ports and irq configured with jumpers or pnp? If the latter have you got the card configured using the isapnptools? If isapnptools what is the output from pnpdump? Have you generated the config file for the isapnp kit in /etc ? Sorry to be a bit vague with the exact name, I forget it, but it's mentioned in the isapnptools package. From what I have seen so far there is no mention of the options you used when inserting the sound modules. I fear that these are not correctly set. Hopefully you have the Kernel Documentation installed, if so please refer to file:///usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/oss/ESS1 and file:///usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/oss/ESS1868 If all else fails please register for the fix-up evening on the 12th. -- C.
