Apparently AD1848 OK for an older SoundPro chip?
Huum, i wonder, did you read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/CMI8330 ? It says right at the start. ( Be sure to read Documentation/sound/SoundPro too ) This adapter is now directly supported by the sb driver. The only thing you have to do is to compile the kernel sound support as a module and to enable kernel ISAPnP support, as shown below. CONFIG_SOUND=m CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m CONFIG_PNP=y CONFIG_ISAPNP=y and optionally: CONFIG_SOUND_MPU401=m for MPU401 support. (I suggest you to use "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" for a more comfortable configuration editing) Then you can do modprobe sb and everything will be (hopefully) configured. You should get something similar in syslog: sb: CMI8330 detected. sb: CMI8330 sb base located at 0x220 sb: CMI8330 mpu base located at 0x330 sb: CMI8330 mail reports to Alessandro Zummo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sb: ISAPnP reports CMI 8330 SoundPRO at i/o 0x220, irq 7, dma 1,5 > Tried modprobe sb, and all seemed well..
