Sorry about getting in the tail end of this thread. I just went round and round with this very same card. I have it working under Debian. This is what I had to do:
1) Go into the BIOS - PNP/ISA menu and turn off the "Is there a PNP OS installed?" option. Doing this forces the BIOS to assign default addresses/IRQ/DMA channels. 2) boot up into Win95 and look at the control_panel/system/device_manager/sound/properties/resources menu and write down the addresses/IRQ/DMA settings. 3) reboot into Linux and as root, run pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf ; edit /etc/isapnp.conf and make the file match the settings I got from Win95. 4) configure the sound driver module to the same settings and re-compile & install the new "sound.o" module. (insmod sound) Of course, /etc/modules has "sound" listed right after "auto" to insure proper installation on boot up. As a side note, the SB16 Vibra card of mine uses DMA 0,1 as the stereo channels and, on loading, the sound driver complains about a bad DMA channel. However, it works just fine! -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.-
