/dev/snd is a link to /proc/asound/dev I compiled the kernel and alsa modules (debug=install) I then ran snddevices to create the sound devices. when I insert the module and start alsa, I get this in messages: kernel: ALSA card-sb16.c:298: isapnp SB16: port=0x220, mpu port=0x330, fm port=0x388 kernel: ALSA card-sb16.c:300: isapnp SB16: dma1=1, dma2=5, irq=5 kernel: ALSA card-sb16.c:319: isapnp SB16: wavetable port=0x620 kernel: ALSA sb_common.c:125: SB [0x220]: DSP chip found, version = 4.16 kernel: ALSA emu8000.c:173: EMU8000 [0x620]: Synth chip found kernel: ALSA emu8000.c:446: EMU8000 [0x620]: 512 Kb on-board memory detected #lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-card-sbawe 6336 0 (unused) snd-opl3 6272 0 [snd-card-sbawe] snd-sb16-dsp 6592 0 [snd-card-sbawe] snd-pcm 55584 0 [snd-sb16-dsp] snd-timer 11296 0 [snd-opl3 snd-pcm] snd-mpu401-uart 3296 0 [snd-card-sbawe snd-sb16-dsp] snd-rawmidi 13504 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-emu8000 11392 0 [snd-card-sbawe] snd-seq-device 4144 0 [snd-opl3 snd-rawmidi snd-emu8000] snd-sb16-csp 17248 0 [snd-card-sbawe] snd-sb-common 7272 0 [snd-card-sbawe snd-sb16-dsp snd-sb16-csp] snd-hwdep 4480 0 [snd-opl3 snd-sb16-csp] snd 30568 0 [snd-card-sbawe snd-opl3 snd-sb16-dsp snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-emu8000 snd-seq-device snd-sb16-csp snd-sb-common snd-hwdep] # cat /etc/modules.conf # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.4.3b --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-sbawe alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 #MN remove all, added snd_isapnp=1 options snd-card-sbawe snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 snd_isapnp=1 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
