This sounds like the same problem I had setting up my Acer sound card --
the I/O addresses in Windows did not match any of the choices in
sndconfig. I am on the way to a solution with the driver from Open
Sound Systems: http://www.opensound.com/lynxos.html
Their driver can be downloaded for trial. It did get my sound card
working (with Timidity, I can play MIDI files, with oss/play I can play
WAVE files, and the KDE CD Player works). I have not gotten UMP or
RealPlayer to work with Netscape yet. It is a pain, but at least I can
download MIDI or WAVE files and play them.
For the trial, you can only use it for 20 minute sessions. You have to
turn the sound on, then off. You can then turn the sound back on for
another 20 minutes. If the driver works for you, to make it permanent,
you have to pay $20 US to OSS. At least that is less expensive than
buying a new card.
Good luck.

Hi All,
Just wondering if someone can help me with the sound configuration in
Linux Mandrake 6.0
I have a Yamaha SYXG50. I am told it is a YMF 724 chip set, but
windows recognizes it as OPL3-SA2/3/x which is one of the options in
'sndconfig'. It then asks me to set certain specs: (6 columns)
Column #1:
I/O Port
0x530
0x534
0x604
0xe80
0xf40
Column #2:
IRQ
5
7
9
10
11
12
15
Column #3:
DMA 1
0
1
3
Column #4:
DMA 2
0
1
3
Column #5:
MPU I/O
0x330
0x300
Column #6
Control I/O
0x370
0x380
Here are the Win98 setting for the same card:
Interrupt Request 09
Direct Memory Access 01
Input/Output Range 0220-022F
Input/Output Range 0388-038F
Input/Output Range 0330-0331
Input/Output Range 8000-800F
If anyone can decipher any of the above, could you please give me a
clue as to what to choose.
Thanks
Russ
