I wonder if anyone can help me get my sound FX-3D sound card to work under LINUX
-- or alternatively, suggest a low cost card which will work well in both LINUX
and Windows and be simple to configure in both systems.
I have an Acer FX-3D sound card. If I type sndconfig as root the probe does not
detect
anything. However there is a selection:
AD1816 (Acer FX-3D, HP Kayak).
If I type OK, I get a table with a heading which says "Please adjust the settings
to match the dip switch settings on your sound card" , from which to select
various options (I took the card out and could not find any DIP switches. All it
says on the card is AD1816 FX-3D.
I/O Port IRQ DMA 1 DMA 2
0x530 5 0 0
0x534 7 1 1
0x604 9 3 3
0xe80 10
0xf40
I had printed out the system settings from Windows 98 for all the
devices. I have the following information which seems relevant:
Class: Sound, video and Game controllers
Device: Acer FX-3D Sound Controller
Resources:
IRQ: 05
I/O: 0220h-022Fh
I/O: 0388h-038Bh
I/O: 0100h-010Fh
DMA: 01
DMA: 00
I am not sure what to select (I assume IRQ 5, DMA 1, DMA 0), especially
for the I/O. I tried a couple of different ones, but got the following
error when I tried a sample sound:
The following error occurred running the modprobe program:
/lib/modules/2.2.9.19mdk/misc/AD1816.o
: init_module: Device or resource busy
(I get the same type of message on booting with this the only item [FAILED]
Typing OK puts me back to the message saying no PnP or PCI sound cards
found in your system.) I tried every I/O selection with IRQ 5 and DMA 1, DMA 0
and a few other combinations with every otehr IRQ listed, all with the same
result. I have not yet exhaustively checked every possible combination.
Thanks to anyone who can help me.
