Creative Soundblaster 16 PnP ISA

[Willi Dyck]

Hi List,

i can't get my soundblaster to work. i' ve compiled it in the kernel
with the io, irq, dma, and dma16 settings i have in DOS
(io=220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5). i also tried other settings but it doesn't
work!
dmesg output:
sound initialisation start
sound initialisation end
nothing more.

i have a bootable Linux Mp3 player disk which works great with my
soundblaster.

anyone has a suggestion what i  forgot?
if it helps i use kernel 2.2.14 and Debian 2.1 R4
thanx

Its a PNP, so you need:
1. Install isapnp package.
2. Run pnpdump and create a config file for your card.
3. Run isapnp with that file. Use IRQ,IO, etc settings same as you supply
to your kernel (if possible. pnpdump will tell you).
4. Compile sound support as a module. 
5. reboot with your new kernel, and insert sound modules.
I have a small guide written up on how to configure modem with
isapnpits the same thing.
