Re: [expert] Sound Blaster 64 AWE Problems
I've had the card in and out a couple of times looking for that possibility too. The card does work on the windows side with seemingly the same settings.

[expert] Sound Blaster 64 AWE Problems
Hello, I've upgraded my motherboard and CPU and now can not get my SB64AWE to work correctly. As the modules are loaded as it boots the card starts to buzz and does not stop. The only way to get it to stop is to edit anything having to do with sound out of /etc/conf.modules and reboot. After rebooting, I run sndconfig and the buzzing appears again as soon as the card is initalized. The card seems to be using the correct parameters according to the info panel in KDE (i.e. irq 5, dma low 1, dma high 5, mem at 220 and midi at 330.) Any Ideas? Thanks, Randy
