Yup, I think you're right, sorry about that. I think it was pnpdump. It's been a
while since I did the set-up. I had to do it the hard way with RedHat 5.2, but
since using Mandrake 6.0 and 6.1, I have been able to use sndconfig to set up
the card.
The "no boards found" line tells us that pnpdump is not seeing your card
(obviously). Your sound card has the same chip set as mine. I read somewhere
something about edge detection with respect to setting up the card, so I went
into my BIOS settings, and changed the setting for detection from "level" to
"edge". Then I was able to set up the card.
I am not a technician, and I have no training whatsoever, so what I usually
do, is a lot of reading, and a lot of trial and error. I think I would check
the BIOS settings to see if your (I can't remember the correct name) detection
mode is set to level detection, or edge detection. I don't know if this setting
really did anything for me or not, but if the pnpdump utility is looking for
edge detection, and the BIOS is set to level detection, then pnpdump may not be
able to "see" the card, hence, the "no boards found" line in the isapnp.conf
file. I'm just shooting in the dark, here. Maybe someone with more know-how can
lend a hand.
Good luck,
Ernie
