Re: Ensoniq sound problems
Mine works great. I have PNP-aware BIOS which initializes the card so I simply looked at what the settings ended up to be in Win95 and used these.

Basically I've been trying to use isapnp to initialize my card, otherwise I would have to initialize it from DOS (ugh). Here is my /etc/isapnp.conf file: (ISOLATE) (IDENTIFY *) (CONFIGURE ENS3081/ (LD 0 (IO 0 (BASE 0x330)) (INT 0 (IRQ 9 (MODE +E))) (ACT Y))) I removed my cards serial number from the above for this e-mail. In addition, I compiled the Ensoniq Soundscape module with the same settings. Normally I get some sort of clicking from my spreakers when my sound card is initialized from DOS but I get no such response when initializing in Linux. Do I need MPU401, too? -- Jens B.

I can't seem to get anything out of my sound card. Well, when I had a 486, my ensoniq soundscape worked OK. I recently upgraded to an intel TX chipset based motherboard, and I couldn't get the soundcard to work at all. I installed the OSS sound driver (it's not kernel based; it actually requires that you have no sound driver in your kernel). The sound card works great with OSS. Unfortunately, OSS is commercial, so you must pay $20 for the full license. I'm not sure of the exact URL that will give you info on OSS. Try an alta vista search for OSS/Linux or something like that (I think that's the official name of the thing). Don't confuse it with OSS/Free, which is the normal kernel based sound driver.

Re: Ensoniq sound problems
I installed the Debian xmcd and xmix packages but I initially couldn't run them because the CD and mixer devices had 660 permissions. After I changed the permissions to 666, I could run them. Is this a bug in hamm? Probably not. You might not want everyone who has access to your computer to be using these devices. A better solution than chmoding to 666 is adding the appropriate users to the group that owns the devices. For IDE CD devices, this might include changing the group that owns the device. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
