Hi Rene,
when I provided the driver years ago all my 930* cards were working well in WSS mode. Please note that 'well' means: 'I can hear sound coming out from speakers, and its quality is not so bad' :) But it is a long long time I do not test those cards.
I will try to check the latest source code. Massimo

931 and 933 work and 930 (a non-PnP chip) is being a royal pain in the ass again. With the new code, I haven't yet been able to get it to work -- no IRQ is firing. However, I also experienced this _once_ with the old driver so I'm not sure what's going on. When I now try to reproduce with the old one, I can't. Maybe a timing difference.
Will need further testing -- I have no time in the next few days.
Hate it but will need to confirm that this is definitely a regression. OPTi 82C930A does not work with the cs4231-lib using driver, does work with the current driver. It loads, but gets no interrupts.
However, relevant -- "does work with the old driver" is conditional on one accepting a definition of "does work" which includes "does not produce any sound". OPTi 930 is a Non-PnP chip, and it seems it might need the same kind of internal switching that the Non-PnP sound galaxies need before the output circuitry is actually connected to the WSS part and not the SB part.
Given that for most people sound cards have producing sound as one of their more important characteristics it not in fact doing such no doubt means that this chip isn't used at _all_ by anyone. I have one, but I can't say I've ever found another one either. Could've sworn I tested it before and got it to work but not able to say with certainty either.
Massimo, do you remember if the driver was ever tested on a 930?
In any case, it works on 931 and 933, not 930. 931/3 are the chips actually used. No opinion on just integrating this anyway. Debugging 930 is going to require some work and time.
