I'm sorry to be flooding your seemingly pretty quiet mailing list with my problems. But this sound card problem seems to have created quite a stir, and i think that it would be in the interest of everyone that runs an alpha that the reason for all the sound card issues be resolved.
I've tried my AWE64, with PNP and without PNP enabled in the kernel and in the kernel and as modules. It couldnt find the card. I find it strange how it couldnt find a card that is PNP compatible. pnpdump saw it, so its properly plugged in, and working. I tried modprobing it manually with all the parameters, it said that no card was found, which is what it also said when i put it right in the kernel. So far i've tried: -SBLive! -Creative AWE64 -Creative Sound Blaster 16 -Crystal Sound 4280 all with no success. I am running linux kernel 2.4.17 (for those of you that didnt know it existed its 2.4.16 with a patch to allow woody's binutils to compile it). I run 2.4 cause the Radeon driver seems to require it. And in case you were wondering, yes, i got ppp going, just need sound and all the hardware will be working 100%. Thanks Richard Fillion
