[ First, thanks to everyone answered my first post ] It's amazing how my SB AWE 64 Gold can remain silent these days... So, I followed the instructions in Marcus' mini HOWTO. Everything went right, even the reboot step, but then, nothing works. Here are the symtoms:
* At boot time, the only line appearing is: "AWE32: not detected"[1]. * Trying to cat a sound file on /dev/audio says: "device busy". * I also tried it manually: `isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf' says a line similar to that of the mini HOWTO `modprobe -r sound' says "device busy" `modprobe -a sound' says nothing. * Some other checks: cat /dev/sndstat outputs something very similar to the example in the mini HOTWO, appart from the 2 AWE32 lines which are not present. `lsmod' says a line about sound (usage number: 2) etc... * My generated /etc/isapnp.conf look also very much like the example (appart from a missing ->CD ROM<- entry, which is surprising because I know I have a cdrom connected). What can be going wrong ? Footnotes: [1] BTW, I already had an init file for isapnp in /etc/init.d, but I'm not sure whether it is executed automatically at boot time or not. The HOWTO speaks about a /etc/init.d/boot file, which I don't have. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.
