Re: Soundblaster 16
Hi, There are a couple of things you could look out for to check whether sound is working. As root, run: # cat /dev/sndstat It should say something like: Audio devices: 0: Sound Blaster 16 (4.13) (DUPLEX) If that works, look for a .au file on your machine (eg by using locate .au), and run: # cat foo.au /dev/audio You should hear a sound here :) Getting sound to work in Debian is definitely more tricky than doing so in Suse or Redhat. If you've still got your Suse partition, try looking for the sb kernel modules options in /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf, and use those values in Debian. That's what I did. The settings I used are: options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 If you have the sb kernel module (eg from kernel-image-2.2.19), you shouldn't have to recompile your kernel just as yet. As for MP3/CD players, I use xmms. To get xmms to work with the sb kernel module, you'd need to change your preferences to use the libOSS output plugin instead of the Esound one. Hope that helps. -hoeteck

RE: Soundblaster 16
Good point, but if you are a newbie recompiling your kernel, READ the docs carefully. No, really, read them! It's not hard at ALL to compile a kernel, but the mistakes are not all obvious and if you screw up your system is pretty hosed. Here are the basic steps: 1. Have a rescue disk handy (just in case) 2. know your drive controller (basically, do you need ultra66 support?) 3. dl source, unzip, make menuconfig 4. the help is good in the config program...use it. 5. make dep 6. make modules 7. make modules_install 8. make bzlilo 9. /sbin/lilo (if it isn't already done) 10. reboot into new kernal land!

Many SB16 cards can be configured to select PnP or a fixed IRQ. If yours has that capability, you should definitely use a fixed IRQ.

I know all my card's settings and I have already installed sb. My confusion is regarding adding my user name to a new group and changing the group of the sound device. between usermod, chgrp, chown, I'm confused. what do I need to do to get my user name to access the sound device? The group audio is there for this purpose. You do not have to add it, is is already there on debian systems. On my system, the audio devices are owned by the group audio. Example: ls -l /dev/dsp shows: crw-rw1 root audio 14, 3 Jul 9 2000 /dev/dsp In fact, if you do ls -l /dev | grep audio, you'll see the whole lot of audio devices. So all you need to get access to these devices is to be in group audio. Do, as root, addgroup user audio to add user to that group. Now the user has to either login again (or restart x11), or type newgrp in the shell from which to access audio devices. You can check the groups you are (or really: your process is) currently in with the id and groups commands. Cheers, Joost

Re: SoundBlaster 16 PCI configuration?
If lspci lists the card as ES1371, this should be quite simple. I believe all you need to do in the kernel config is to: 1) enable sound card support 2) enable support for the ES1371 Plug and play doesn't matter in this case, nor should it matter whether you compile the driver into the kernel or as a module. I have an ES1370 card (Sound Blaster PCI64) and, for what it's worth, I compiled it into the kernel. For PCI cards you don't have to be concerned with specifying the IRQ, DMA etc. Good luck, Tom Dave Whiteley wrote: Seasons greetings to all... I am trying to configure Soundblaster 16 PCI cards to run in Dell Optiplex machines. If I use lspci it tells me that the card is an ensoniq es1371 device with address dcc0 and IRQ 11, but no other information I am trying to compile a kernel for this. Do I include PnP support? Do I configure for the 1370 and/or 1371 drivers, or the Soundblaster drivers. If the Soundblaster, what values do I use for the DMAs, and the other IO addresses and IRQs Should I compile them into the kernel, or leave them as modules? I am trying to use the v2.2.1 kernel under slink. With the time I have spent messing with this, this cheap card is turning out to be *very* expensive. Thanks in advance for any help, Dave Whiteley --

Re: SoundBlaster 16 PNP WaveEffects help needed
Ok, I got sound working. In fact I believe I discovered an UNWANTED FEATURE
in
# modconf
When I first tried to use modconf to insert the module, I
specified the wrong parameters and the module installation failed. The
modconf utility wrote the parameters to /etc/conf.modules anyway and when
I DID actually specify the correct parameters with modconf or manually
using the modprobe command, the old parameters in /etc/conf.modules were
still in the file. Here is the UNWANTED FEATURE I see in modconf. If a
module installation fails with modconf, it should not write the parameters
to /etc/conf.modules . I suppose I can take a look at fixing it.
Where do I find the source for modconf, and who is the maintainer?

Re: Soundblaster 16 Midi Problems...
Hi, I never get my midi port working with my SoundBlaster pnp 16. For now, i would suggest using timidity to play midi files, they are nice, but will use a lot of cpu... when the kernel 2.2.0 comes out, you can have a go on that, I believe the new kernel will be able to handle pnp cards very well.

Re: Soundblaster 16 Midi Problems...
If you are running a mixer program, check to see if something is set badly. In any case, the SB16 is pretty crude as a midi player. You might want to install timidity and timidity-patches. This uses a bit of disk space, but sounds MUCH better.
