Hello. I have a 5 year old Gateway Solo 2500 that is currently running Linux 2.6.12.2. If I install ALSA and try to have alsaconf bruteforce-detect the OPL3SA2 sound card, it will say that it has detected it, but loading the modules will fail. If I install Linux 2.4 and recompile/rerun alsaconf, the detection works fine and the card works. Copying the configuration detected under 2.4 into a modprobe.conf on 2.6 allows me to use the card in 2.6 with occasional crashes (which might be due to suspend2).
Searching around the net, I find many other people having trouble with these cards and the ALSA-Linux2.6 combination. On one page, someone suggested that there were changes made between 2.4 and 2.6 to the ISA code that broke ALSA's detection routines. I'm not sure what information might be needed in order to get this card working well once and for all, but if someone will let me know, I'd be happy to provide. Thanks. -Andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
