Hi, I just installed Debian 2.0 and compiled kernal (2.0.34) with Sound as module. I seem to get something working, but not all. I configured my /etc/isapnp.conf, did a isapnptools /etc/isapnp.conf followed by $insmod sound trace_init=1. On dmesg, I see Sound initialization started <Sound Blaster 16 (4.16)> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 0,5 <Yamaha OPL3 FM> at 0x388 Sound initialization complete
when I do cat /dev/sndstat, I see Card config: Sound Blaster at 0x220 irq 5 drq 0,5 (SB MPU-401 irq 1 drq 0) OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 drq 0 Iam able to play CD using workman. When I cat some .au to /dev/audio, (or when I try saytime) I get no sound. I get no error either. When I do rvplayer welcome.rm, I get some error like "Codec not installed/Compression not supported". >From what I see in HOWTO, looks like I have MPU stuff not enabled. Is this a problem? I donot have MPU 401 support enabled in make config (going by help text) I used to have RedHat 5.1 with sound working like sweat (using sndconfig). Is there a similar tool under debian? (just wanted to be a GNU purist for a while :) Thats my main Qn. I have few more :) 1) I can do startx only as root. Not as any other user. I get some error like "xlib: conncecion refused by server". If I run xdm, I can log on as any user though. 2) When I try make xconfig for kernal config, I cannot select any of the y/m/n options. I can input all text fields (like irq, IO) though.
