Since the only successful modprobe is done with the jumper on SOFTWARE instead of EPPROM, I'll only tested the following:
Jumper: Software:
sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1 without an error, dmesg - gives no hint, verbose, mention...
cat /proc/asound/cards: 0 [Pro ]: SB Pro - Sound Blaster Pro Sound Blaster Pro at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1
So I did the following: cd /proc/asound/ cat *
cat: Pro: Is a directory cat: card0: Is a directory 0 [Pro ]: SB Pro - Sound Blaster Pro Sound Blaster Pro at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1 2: : timer 3: : sequencer 4: [ 0- 0]: raw midi 5: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent 6: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback 7: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture 8: [ 0] : control 00-00: OPL3 FM 0 snd_sb8 cat: oss: Is a directory 00-00: SB8 DSP : DSP v3.1 : playback 1 : capture 1 cat: seq: Is a directory G0: system timer : 4000.000us (10000000 ticks) P0-0-0: PCM playback 0-0-0 : SLAVE P0-0-1: PCM capture 0-0-1 : SLAVE Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14rc1 (Tue Jan 09 09:56:17 2007 UTC).
