Hey there, I found some usefull information about setting up the soundcard in Debian. It also should work in Progeny: http://home.xnet.com/~darogers/debian_university.txt Do a search on 'soundblaster' in that text and it will take you to the right place. Let me quote a piece to get you started: Quoted from http://home.xnet.com/~darogers/debian_university.txt: <begin quote> "(...)First research your sound card. Is it PNP? Is it PCI? What resources (irqs, ports, dma's) does it need. In particular, install the kernel source (see the Kernel 150 course). Then, look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/card_name. Also read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/README.modules. In my case there were actually three files in the Documentation/sound directory with information about my home sound card - a Soundblaster awe32. I also had the documentation. Lastly, I also run Win98 from time to time, so I had access to the Device Manager information. Next create your isapnp.conf file and check it for validity. Install the conf file in /etc/isapnp.conf. In my case, the AWE32 file in Doc/sound said that pnpdump missed a couple of I/O ports for the wavetable synth so I had to hand edit the file that pnpdump produced. In one of the Documentation/sound files that apply to your sound device, you should have found the parameters defined for the module you need to load. Match those up with your research you did on your sound card. NOTE!!! Debian does _not_ set up the audio device files in the normal install. You should cd to the /dev directory and run "MAKEDEVICES audio". <end quote> littlepeon said: hey i cant get any sound....i have a standard SB16 plug and play (ct1740) it works in RedHat and Mandrake also Windows...with MS, the properties are as listed: irq:5 i/o:0240h-024Fh i/o:0300h-0301h i/o:0388h-038Bh dma:01 dma:00 Now how do i set this up in Progeny to get sound? I've tried adding sb module w/ options io=0x240 irq=5 dma=1 placed in /etc/modutils/sb this did not work...i also tried installing sndconfig(unstable) and it cant find the soundcard either....how do i get this thing to work? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
