Greetings!
I'm running Red Hat Linux 7.1, with kernel 2.4.9 (from
www.kernel.org). I installed the kernel back in September.
In late November, my system died. It turned out to need a new power
supply, but also the old motherboard had to be completely replaced with a
new motherboard, so all my bus cards were removed from the system and
placed back in.
My sound card had worked very well. I have the Creative Labs AWE64.
Since I got my system back, it hasn't been working. I was expecting
I'd have to probably "reconfigure" it. I have run sndconfig. The
documentation says it (on Audio interface) is 220H, IRQ 5, DMA 1 and 5,
and the MPU is 330H. dmesg reports the following regarding my sound card:
<<>>
Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
sb: Creative SB AWE64 PnP detected
sb: ISAPnP reports 'Creative SB AWE64 PnP' at i/o 0x220, irq 9, dma 1, 5
SB 4.16 detected OK (220)
sb: Interrupt test on IRQ9 failed - Probable IRQ conflict
sb: 1 Soundblaster PnP card(s) found.
<<>>
In experimentation, I have set the IRQ to 5 and 9, the first DMA to 1
and the second to 5, according to the documentation from the sound card.
When running sndconfig, it says a sound sample will now be played to
determine if my sound card has been correctly configured. I hear what
sounds like the very beginning of a word, but it isn't complete. And
then, when it goes on to say a MIDI sample will now be played to determine
if my sound card's synth has been correctly configured, I get:
modprobe: Can't locate module synth0
I don't seem to have a synth0 anywhere on my system. I was going to
start BRU (after setting /etc/bruxpat) to see whether synth0 existed on an
old system I had back before September. However, it seems that now my
Seagate Travan tape drive isn't working. <sigh> So, that's another
problem! :-)
If I didn't have a synth0, though, I apparently didn't need it before
(as the system ran for about two months just fine before I had the
motherboard replaced)...?
Can anyone offer any help here?
Thank you!
Barry
