I'm not awfully familiar with that card, as I have a ISA version of it. If your card really is PCI, there's no need to configure anything except OSS sound modules in your kernel. You did that, didn't you ? They maybe even precompiled, check /lib/modules/your_kernel_version/misc for sb.o and sbawe.o. If they are there, just modprobe -ak sb. There's additional docs in the kernel source tree for configuring awe... If you want to get it the easier way, may I suggest ALSA. Search for alsa with dselect. HTH -- Ragga
Re: how do i get sound working?
Another thing that may help is to install the pciutils package (if you haven't already), and run the lspci command. That should give additional info on what Linux is recognizing as far as your sound card is concerned, as well as all your other PCI devices. I have an older version of the PCI64 card, and get this from 'lspci -v' 00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1370 [AudioPCI] Subsystem: Unknown device 4942:4c4c Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9 I/O ports at 6800 As mentioned in the other post, PCI cards don't require you to specify I/O, IRQ etc. In the kernel configuration, you usually just need to enable sound support in general, and then select the correct driver for your card. Mine is ES1370, although yours is probably ES1371. I compiled my sound support directly into the kernel. The other option is to compile it as modules. As an example, here is the sound portion of my kernel config (kernel version 2.2.16): # Sound # CONFIG_SOUND=y # CONFIG_SOUND_CMPCI is not set CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370=y # CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370_JOYPORT_BOOT is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MAESTRO is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ESSSOLO1 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ICH is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_SONICVIBES is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_TRIDENT is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDCLAS is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDPIN is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_OSS is not set Tom Bob wrote: alright i've read the sound-how-to but it didn't help me. my sound card is a Creative Labs Audio PCI 64V. im not sure what sound driver i should be using or how to set the irq, I/o port, and DMA settings... running pnpdump does nothing.

Re: how do i get sound working?
Do a cat /proc/pci and look for the lines relating to your sound device. If you see things like: Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 (rev 6) Or so forth, then what you need is to compile a kernel with the ES1371 driver from the sound section. Ensoniq ES1371 == Creative PCI64 in a lot of cases, including mine. If this is not the case, whatever is written in /proc/pci in regards to your sound device will at least give you a good starting point. Cheers, Corey J.
