Same setup, similar problem. I can get it to work, but it is not a pretty method and not terribly efficient (and it has to be done each time the computer reboots). The module is es1371 (or possibly es1370). I've tried loading it with io and irq specifications, but it is still not enough. I also have the sound and soundcore modules set to load. Here's what happens when I boot: -no mention of loading the module(s) in the boot messages, despite it being in /etc/modules with the correct io and irq parameters -when starting Gnome or KDE, off in the background (if you switch to one of the other virtual consols) I see the following message repeated: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones... sb: dsp reset failed At this stage, apps like XMMS complain about the sound card. Not only that, the directory /var/log/ksymoops starts filling up quite quickly with files with .ksyms and .modules extensions - I've filled up my /var partition a few times because of this, forcing me to clean out that directory. Through trial and error, I've figured out how to stop this - by running sndconfig. The problem there is that the configuration fails, but it does stop the previous problems of the infinite messages and the infinite files in /var/log/ksymoops. I used to then try a manual configuration in sndconfig, but that just fails as well and restarts the problem, so I now just exit once the automatic config fails. But after that, everything seems to work, even though, as I said, sndconfig failed to actually configure anything. That is just plain wierd as far as I'm concerned... For what it is worth, my system has elected to put my soundcard, my PCI ethernet card and the onboard USB controller all on the same IRQ - 11. I've got an AHA-2940UW SCSI card occupying IRQ 10 and an older AHA-1502 at IRQ 9 (for a Microtek scanner). I would have expected the soundcard to take IRQ 5 like my old ISA SB16 did, but it did not. -- David P.
