Hi list people,,
I tried a yfm724 sound card, only to find it isn't supported.
Then I switched to an old Opti ISA sound card, only to find it isn't
detected..
(sndconfig tells me that no cards were found. but it works in a winblows
machine.)
any suggestions?
regards
Frank

hi there,
one of my computers is using SB 16 ISA too.
if you get a device bussy message, try to kill the application
that using the /dev/dsp.
1. login as root (Xwindows or console)
2. type this in console or terminal
fuser /dev/dsp
three digit number will appear
3. type this
kill xxx
where xxx is the three digit number.
try to configure your SC now.
These work on mine.
good luck!
Tafta
