I think the problem is that I use module-assistant to rebuild the alsa-module and it took the debian package instead of using the original source from Alsa. I will have to read more about make-mpkg to build alsa module without debian package. Is it possible to use module-assisant to do so by copying the alsa files in the right place? Also, I've notice that when I run alsaconf, it detects a soundblaster audigy LS and what I have installed is a Soundblaster Live! 24 bits. I thought the Live! needed the emu10k1 driver but alsaconf install the snd-audigy driver instead. Should I try to change that in the config files? Finally, since it's not about the Soundscape Elite card anymore, should I make a new thread? Thanks.

None of these cards is really PnP. The Rev3 of this card has a flash rom chip to store settings, but the irq, dma, and io port can only be changed with a DOS utility. The Rev1 cards do not have the chip, and must be _initialized_ in DOS, then warm-booted into any other OS to work. This was a real pain, because most of the cards had a Matshushima CD-ROM connector on-board. If the card wasn't initialized before you booted into another OS (I used it with Linux, OS/2, and NT 3.5), not only did your card not work, your cdrom didn't work, either. The sequence was.boot dos, see config.sys load the driver, and autoexec.bat kick off the driver program, hit ctrl-alt-delete, and boot into the other OS. Thank god for OS/2's boot manager back in those days. Also, after doing a lot of things, I heard some scrachy sounds but this was a few weeks ago. Classic behavior of hitting upon the right ports, but not having the card properly initialized. I used to have this problem with OS/2 all the time. I'm guessing, unfortunately, that you've got a Rev1 card, because iirc, the Rev3 cards don't have this behavior (you'll have to forgive any memory lapses here, I sold this card like eight years ago after endless frustration with it). I don't know if my webcam's microphone interfere with the sound card. Seriously doubt it. Those were some messed up cards. If you look closely, you'll see an 8Mhz motorola 68000 processor on the board, probably. That should give you an indication of how weird the hardware is. I was thinking about getting a newer card but I want to give a try with this one before doing so. Buy a SB-Live card. They're cheap now, and deliver better sound than any ISA card could ever hope to. The SoundScape was pretty cool at the time, but its day is long past.

ensoniq soundscape vivo 90 on woody
Hello, I'm running Debian Woody with kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4. It's on a Gateway 2000 P5-200 maching (200MHz) with an ISA Ensoniq Soundscape VIVO 90 sound card. I've installed mpd and phpmd to play music out of the server via a web interface. I had a rough time getting the sound card to work initially, but finally had it working about a week ago. The problem was, the server was unplugged by one of my roommates and I lost all the settings I used to get the sound card working. (I know I'm dumb for not putting them in the boot sequence.) After a few days of Googling, I've tried using the sscape.o module, the ad1848.o module, installed alsa, etc. with no luck. Upon executing modprobe sscape, I get the response: /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/sound/sscape.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/sound/sscape.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/sound/sscape.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/sound/sscape.o: insmod sscape failed Same deal with ad1848.o. I've tried combinations of IRQs, IO, and DMA parameters as suggested by folks on Google. sndconfig returns the same thing every time. I've also tried installing alsa-base and using those drivers through alsaconf. It probes for ISA cards, says there's no match found, and exits. pnpdump shows the ISA card with Ensoniq SoundscapeVIVO as the identifier. The relevant portion of lsmod is: sound 52876 0 [v_midi] soundcore 3236 4 [sound] Is there something wrong with my card? Is there a way to get back my configuration before the reboot? Is there something else I should try to get this going? Thanks in advance for any help. -Pat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

kernel 2.4, isa-pnp and ensoniq soundscape (sscape)-- how?
I have been trying to configure a soundcard for a woody box running kernel 2.4.12-ac3, but have not been able to make any headway. Previously (kernel 2.2) we used isapnptools, but kernel 2.4 wants to use isa-pnp. Currently I can insmod soundcore, sound and isa-pnp, but the next module to load, ad1848, tries to scan the cards again and doesn't find any. I have read linux/Documentation/isapnp.txt to modify /proc/isapnp, but haven't had much luck. Does someone have a working configuration for the Ensoniq Soundscape under 2.4?

Ensoniq Soundscape
Following the Sound HOWTO, I just built a kernel with soundscape support (2.0.32), and only the MIDI is working. :(. Does anyone else have a Soundscape, and if so how did you fix this? It says this on bootup: Sound initialization started Ensoniq SoundScape at 0x330 irq 9 dma 3 SoundScape (MPU401) at 0x330 irq 9 dma 3 SoundScape: Invalid MSS IRQ11 Sound initialization complete It looks like the IRQ is wrong, but i'm not sure what to put because I noticed the soundscape uses different settings for things between my DOS and Win95/NT. :( Thanks, Timothy. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Although I don't have a true Ensoniq Soundscape card, I do have a clone made by the now defunct Reveal. One thing I found out was that to use the Soundscape card under Linux I had to disable it's Sound Blaster compatibility mode under the DOS SSINIT program. On a closer note, you will most likely need to force the card into a non PNP mode and adjust it's settings manually to where you want them to be. (Either that or try the ISAPNP tools for Linux.. ).

Re: Ensoniq Soundscape
Can I (and if so how), change the settings that it's using now, or do I have to rebuild the kernel each time I want to change them? Also - when you say disable the SB compatability under MSDOS, do you mean changing 'SBENABLE=true' to false in the soundscape.ini and then running the batch file, or are you talking about something elese? I take it I should use the regular settings in the .ini file, and not the ones that it uses when its emmulating a soundblaster? Thanks alot! Timothy.

There should be some sort of DOS based initialization program for your SoundScape (mine was called ssinit.exe and is located in my \sndscape directory). By running this program by itself it will allow you to configure the card for use with DOS, and allow the settings on the card to be changed. I would think even PnP cards stay pretty constant, but if you do not wish to switch the card out of PnP mode (if your particular soundcard is PnP) and manually configure its settings, you should look into using the ISAPNP tools for Linux. When looking for the current settings in the .ini file, only trust the sndscape.ini file that is in your WINDOWS directory (if you run the beast), the one that you may find in your \sndscape directory (or whatever directory houses the Sound Scape program files) is usually only used during DOS sessions or first installation as a default template (if at all). Yes, always use the regular settings. Do no compile your kernel with support for anything else but the SoundScape (support for /dev/dsp and /dev/audio is ok to include as well as General Midi support, and the subsidiary drivers). The only problem I ever had using my SoundScape turned out to be that I was attempting to have Linux use the settings for it's SB compatible mode and the driver did not like this, but after turning off the SB emulation, everything was beautiful. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Need Help with Ensoniq Soundscape VIVO90
You are in luck 2day! I have an Ensoniq Soundscape ViVo90 PnP card, with a Debian Linux 1.2 system. Kernel 2.0.29. I have gotten everything except for midi to work. I just played around until I got it right, or partially so. (because the sound doc's said the Soundscape card I had was not yet supported.) I did have to use isapnptools to initialize the card. (I am going by memory here, if ya want me to dig through the details to be sure, or maybe we can both do more to make my midi work too... contact me by private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) I got the isapnptools debian package, from somewhere, then put it in the place where unknown packages go for the ftp install feature of debian. then ran package manager, and finally got isapnptools installed. then i ran somthing or other from the pnptools to generate the pnptools config file, which lists every possibility of settings for all your pnp cards. Luckily I only have 2 sound card and modem. (and my modem obviously works perfectly !!! :)) The modem also is one of the new kind that sounds thru sound card instead of it's own buzzer, and after the pnptoolz fix, I could finally hear the modem dial! b4, it would dial, but I couldn't hear it.) Ok next you gotta go through the generated config file and uncomment the lines that contain the settings that you want to use. I also run Win95, so I let it do all the work of dealing out the irq's and such. I then went into the hardware profile and made notes on which cards had what irq, dma, io, etc. then went back in Linux, edited the isapnptools config file accordingly to uncomment the correct lines. then I set up the isapnptools to run at startup by doing something to one of the /etc/rc.d directories. You're smart, you werk at Cray, you can do it!!! :P Oh someone also told me i had to do extra initialization with a short proggie called ssinit.c with a flash rom file, but I never could get the damned thing to work. Probably didn't have the right rom file. So I've never fooled with it again. I can hear my Modem dial thru speakers, Au's playing from the web and even WAV files, so something is working. By Grace from Linus maybe. And don't FUCK with the BIOS setup, except to turn off SHADOW RAM, Linux does a better job of totally reworking the BIOS code anyway, so why shadow substandard code when U can replace it ALTOGHTHER! =) You can Leave the Plug and Play OS setting to YES it seems to werk fer me!!
