I recently installed RH6.0 on a Mustek notebook. Everything works
except the sound. The card is a SB-Pro compatible ESS 1 which
sndconfig does not autoprobe. It does have ESS 1688 and ESS 1868
on its list, and those ask the right sort of questions. My answers
come from what Windows 98 tells me about the card.
During bootup, I get messages from sb.o and opl3.o saying
"Device or resource busy". I've tried the possibilities in the
Sound-HOWTO, i.e.
fuser -v /dev/dsp
(also /dev/audio and /dev/mixer) but none of those is busy.
So it must be some hardware conflict that shows up in Linux but not
in 98 (presumable Mustek's people debugged the machine for 98).
The files I've checked are:
# cat /etc/conf.modules
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias sound sb
pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=3 mpu_io=0x330

What else can I try?
