I have acquired an unknown clone of the GF1 classic card.

Probably a Primax Soundstorm.

I load the snd-gusclassic driver with modprobe snd-gusclassic port=0x220

and the /proc/asound/cards says 0 [G37 ]: GUS - Gravis UltraSound Classic (3.7) Gravis UltraSound Classic (3.7) at 0x220, irq 5, dma 5&5

The alsamixer works. I set maximum volume for the PCM and master controls.

The aplay -l says: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: G37 [Gravis UltraSound Classic (3.7)], device 0: GF1 [GF1 (synth)] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

but the aplay -L says nothing.

the aplay with the .wav file does not play. aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default aplay: main:545: audio open error: No such file or directory

I have tried to follow the alsa wiki but it has not helped (btw, there is no driver the "gusclassic" listed, only the "gus"). Could you point me to any piece of information how to set up the card?

The card works with DOS game with Miles (?) drivers.

Known issue indeed. It works via OSS. When I noticed this (it's on this list somewhere) I was quite unaware of the user space stuff and none else seemed capable of hinting in some general direction either so the issue fell of the radar again. But it's probably just some lib/config issue. As said, OSS players (such as ogg123 -d oss, mpg321 -o oss) worked.

(I'm by the way ouf of action currently. I do have an original GUS classic, GUS MAX, GUS Extreme and several clones so I'll confirm anything you find in due course).

Rene.
