There should be some sort of DOS based initialization program for your SoundScape (mine was called ssinit.exe and is located in my \sndscape directory). By running this program by itself it will allow you to configure the card for use with DOS, and allow the settings on the card to be changed. I would think even PnP cards stay pretty constant, but if you do not wish to switch the card out of PnP mode (if your particular soundcard is PnP) and manually configure its settings, you should look into using the ISAPNP tools for Linux. When looking for the current settings in the .ini file, only trust the sndscape.ini file that is in your WINDOWS directory (if you run the beast), the one that you may find in your \sndscape directory (or whatever directory houses the Sound Scape program files) is usually only used during DOS sessions or first installation as a default template (if at all). Yes, always use the regular settings. Do no compile your kernel with support for anything else but the SoundScape (support for /dev/dsp and /dev/audio is ok to include as well as General Midi support, and the subsidiary drivers). The only problem I ever had using my SoundScape turned out to be that I was attempting to have Linux use the settings for it's SB compatible mode and the driver did not like this, but after turning off the SB emulation, everything was beautiful. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
