Well, it didn't take long so here's the results : "sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1" gave no errors, and "lsmod" later gave: Module Size Used by snd_sb8 9216 0 snd_sb8_dsp 12288 1 snd_sb8 snd_sb_common 17792 2 snd_sb8,snd_sb8_dsp snd_opl3_lib 11520 1 snd_sb8 snd_hwdep 9988 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_pcm_oss 44544 0 snd_pcm 79876 3 snd_sb8,snd_sb8_dsp,snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss 17408 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_dummy 4740 0 snd_seq_oss 32896 0 snd_seq_midi 9600 0 snd_rawmidi 25472 2 snd_sb8_dsp,snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 8448 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 52592 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 23684 3 snd_opl3_lib,snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 9100 6 snd_opl3_lib,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 54020 13 snd_sb8,snd_sb8_dsp,snd_sb_common,snd_opl3_lib,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 8672 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10888 1 snd_pcm nfs 240876 0 nfsd 218992 17 exportfs 6912 1 nfsd lockd 64904 3 nfs,nfsd sunrpc 161340 12 nfs,nfsd,lockd apm 22752 1 ppdev 10116 0 cpufreq_stats 7360 0 cpufreq_ondemand 9228 0 cpufreq_powersave 2688 0 freq_table 5792 2 cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_conservative 8200 0 cpufreq_userspace 5408 0 nls_iso8859_1 5120 1 nls_cp437 6784 1 vfat 14208 1 fat 53916 1 vfat ext2 66824 1 lp 12452 0 parport_pc 36388 1 parport 36936 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc pcspkr 4224 0 ipv6 268704 8 tsdev 8768 0 evdev 11008 1 ext3 133128 1 jbd 59816 1 ext3 mbcache 9604 2 ext2,ext3 8139too 27648 0 ide_cd 32672 0 cdrom 37664 1 ide_cd ide_disk 17024 5 floppy 59524 0 ehci_hcd 34188 0 8139cp 25088 0 mii 6528 2 8139too,8139cp uhci_hcd 25360 0 usbcore 134280 3 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd piix 10756 0 [permanent] generic 5124 0 [permanent] ata_generic 9092 0 libata 125720 1 ata_generic scsi_mod 142348 1 libata fbcon 42656 0 tileblit 3584 1 fbcon font 9216 1 fbcon bitblit 6912 1 fbcon softcursor 3200 1 bitblit vesafb 9220 0 capability 5896 0 commoncap 8192 1 capability

But when I try to play an ogg gxine crushes an xmms ignores, when trying an mp3 gxine again crushes and xmms gives the soundcard no configured error...

Just a recap: I verifyed using dos the settings (hwset and volset - default and save), and used the bios to set "IRQ 5" as "ISA Legacy".

I didn't use the jumper as I see no need since the epprom already does the job.

So I'm stuck, What do you think I should do now ? Ram Kromberg ramkromberg@mail.com
