[alsa-devel] ALS100: no interrupts in Linux but works fine in DOS

[Ondrej Zary]

Hello,
I have a Freetek PRO32PNP card - an ISA card with ALS100 chip and onboard
Crystal wavetable MIDI.
The card works fine as SB16 in DOS - without any initialization utility,
PnP BIOS configures the card to 0x220, irq5, dma1, dma5.

However it does not work in Linux. Driver loads fine (snd-als100, even tried
old OSS sb) but when I try to play anything, the player hangs without
producing any sound. /proc/interrupts show that no interrupts are generated.
Mixer works fine.

The only suspicious thing is "unknown tag 0xff" and "invalid checksum" in
dmesg (this is from patched kernel that shows size of the unknown tag):

I've even tried to disable Linux pnp completely (noisapnp pnpbios=off) and
load snd-sb16 module manually (modprobe snd-sb16 isapnp=0) with exactly the
same result (everything seems to be OK but there's no sound and interrupts).

Any ideas?
