Instalation of soundcard
Hi,
I'm trying to get my SoundBlaster AWE 64 (Isa PnP) to work on a new
installed Potato system, but just can't get it. I think I did everything
I read in the Sound-AWE mini-HOWTO and Kernel-source documentation.
My isapnp.conf file look as follows:
(READPORT 0x0273)
(ISOLATE PRESERVE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)
(CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING
(CONFIGURE CTL00e4/269124680 (LD 0
# ANSI string --Audio--
(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 5))
(IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0220))
(IO 1 (SIZE 2) (BASE 0x0330))
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0388))
(NAME CTL00e4/269124680[0]{Audio })
(ACT Y)
))
(CONFIGURE CTL00e4/269124680 (LD 1
# Compatible device id PNPb02f
# ANSI string --Game--
(IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x0200))
(NAME CTL00e4/269124680[1]{Game})
(ACT Y)
))
(CONFIGURE CTL00e4/269124680 (LD 2

(IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20))
(IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
(NAME CTL00e4/269124680[2]{WaveTable })
(ACT Y)
))
(WAITFORKEY)
and executing
isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
reports:
Board 1 has Identity da 10 0a 84 48 e4 00 8c 0e: CTL00e4 Serial No

I compiled the Kernel with the following extract of the configuration
save-file:
# Sound
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=m
# Additional low level sound drivers
CONFIG_LOWLEVEL_SOUND=y
CONFIG_AWE32_SYNTH=m
which compiled the modules:
adlib_card.o
sound.o
soundlow.o
opl3.o
sb.o
soundcore.o
uart401.o
I also added the lines
alias midi awe_wave
post-install awe_wave /usr/bin/sfxload /usr/synthfm.sbk
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
to the /etc/modules.conf file, but executing:
modprobe -a sound
doesn't install the drivers. At least they are not reportet executing
cat /dev/sndstat
Any help would be apreciated, and please cc my any answers

At least they are not reportet executing cat /dev/sndstat Make sure that modules are getting build and are where they are supposed to be. I'd try to install those modules by hand using insmod. This is what I do on my box: insmod uart401.o insmod opl3.o insmod sb.o io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 insmod v_midi.o insmod awe_wave.o Check hte logs, dmesg: if modules arent getting inserted successfully, there will be something in hte logs. Check that devices exist in /dev , if not, MAKEDEV audio. Check that your user can write to those devices (play around as root first to get them to work). Andrei -- First there was Explorer...
