hi all !
I've following problem with setting up my soundcard under linux :
at startup (kernel boot) i get :
sb: dsp reset failed
and when trying to configure my card with sndconfig i get :
"sb.o : device or ressource busy"
now i know from various how-tos and faqs that this must have something to do with the
io/irq/dma settings.i set the card to use i/o 0x220, irq5, and dma 1...
the i/o and dma settings i took from the windows device manager and the irq i took
from kde control center / PCI which says there (mysteriously the soundcard is
detected by kde ) :
also found by lspci:
bus 0 , device 9 , function 0
multimedia audio controller, unknown vendor, unknown device (rev 160) vendor id=1319
device id=801
medium devsel. fast back-to-back capable. irq5 . master capable . no bursts min gnt=4
max lat=40
i/o at 0xd000 [0xd001]
so i checked the files /proc/interrupts , /proc/ioports /proc/dma output as follows :
dma : 4 cascade
irq : 0 timer
1 keyboard
2 cascade
4 serial
12 ps2-mouse
13 fpu
14 ide0
15 ide1
ioports:
0000-001f : dma
0020-003f pic1
0040-005f timer
0060-006f keyboard
0080-008f dma page reg
00a0-00bf pic2
00c00-00df dma2
00f0-00ff fpu
0170-0177 ide1
01f0-01f7 ide0
02f8-02ff serial (auto)
0300-030f 3c509 (ethernet card)
0376-0376 ide1
03c0-03df vga+
03f6-03f6 ide0
03f8-03ff serial (auto)
d800-d807 ide0
d808-d80f ide1
so i think there should be no problems with resources.......i also checked some ftape
driver which was mentioned in one how-to to use dma 1, but it wasnt checked in
kernel config.
futhermore i built a new kernel with modular sound support and support for sb, and MAD
16.....nothing works
the file /dev/sndstat contains no values for the different settings and /var/log
messages states following :
kernel: sb : dsp reset failed
i tried the config program lothar too..but with the same results as sndconfig.....i
set pnp in bios to yes------the soundcard is a PCI and PnP card.....although sndconfig
tells me : no pci or pnp card found in system !
i also tried to use other drivers than sb pro.....such as mad16 that were mentioned in
one how-to to work better with sb pro compatible soundcards...but i get again
"device or resource busy"-..---so i think support of the card by linux is not the
prob......
my system information :
i use a PII 350, Mediaforte PCI-64 PCF soundcard (which is according to mediaforte
fully soundblaster compatible and working under linux), and kernel version
2.2.14...
since i have now read really every howto about sound including
/usr/src/linux/documentation/sound and /drivers/sound i would appreciate if someone
could help me at this problem or at least tell me some further resources about
troubleshooting sound (i know from
opensound.com)
thx in advance
