THANKS to everyone to replied to my question! I got it partly solved - I can now play music from the CD player. I found out that my sound card can emulate a sound blaster and after recompiling the kernel w/o pnp-support I now listen to CD's. Playing mp3's is still not working. Here's what I have in my BIOS:
WSS I/O Address =530H SBPro I/O Address = 220H Synth. I/O Address = 388H WSS & SBPro & MPU401 IRQ Level IRQ=7 WSS (Play) DMA Channel =1 WSS (Rec.) & SBPro DMA Channel =2 Control I/O Address =538H MPU401 (MIDI I/F) =330H when I try to load the sound blaster module I can play music CD's .... modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 /var/log/syslog: kernel: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 kernel: SB 3.01 detected OK (220) kernel: SB DSP version is just 3.01 which means that your card is kernel: several years old (8 bit only device) or alternatively the sound driver kernel: is incorrectly configured. kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? When I try to load the OPL3-SA2 modules I can't do anything - not even playing CD's: insmod opl3sa2 irq=7 dma=1 dma2=0 io=0x538 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530 Using /lib/modules/2.4.2/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3sa2.o /lib/modules/2.4.2/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3sa2.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters and /var/log/syslog says: kernel: opl3sa2: Control I/O port 0x0 not free These are all the parameters that are set in my BIOS and which just fine with the 'old' kernel. Any ideas?? TIA Philipp
