Hi there.
I've recently reinstalled my system.
I installed kernel 2.4.22 with sound card support compiled as a module (and
no other drivers under sound compiled)
I installed the ALSA driver, library and utils package version 0.9.6.
The soundcard is an ISA SB16 PnP.
The system is a K6-2 300 on a Chaintech 5AGM2 motherboard.
In my AWARD bios I have PNP OS = Yes, Assign resources = MANUAL, with IRQ 5
available for legacy ISA.
pnpdump shows "no boards found".
I have been running alsa before I reinstalled my system with the same bios
settings and was able to load all drivers normally.
When I try to load the drivers in my current configuration, I get the
message
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: init_module: No such
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
...
When I run alsaconf, it tries to auto-detect any cards. I have it scan for
an SB16 legacy card and have it try all combinations of IRQ's etc.
alsaconf says it can't find any board.
Weird thing is: after running alsaconf all drivers have been loaded and I
can use alsamixer to set sound levels and sound works.
However, this is the _only_ way I have been able to get it to work: run
alsaconf, alsaconf can't find a card, afterwards it works.
When I run lsmod, this is the output:

My configurtion in /etc/modules.conf is currently (although I have been
trying various settings):
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
# module options should go here
options snd-sb16 index=1 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1 dma16=5 isapnp=0
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
Is there anybody out there that can help me get the drivers to load
normally, without giving these errors?
Things work, but not the way that they're supposed to and I have to use this
alsaconf workaround to get sound to work.

Joost Schevers.
