make sure that the sound is compiled into the kernel first.
in a term window, goto '/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.SuSE' and type in make
'xconfig'. Check the sound section.
sound card support = y
sound blaster support = y
/dev/dsp and d/dev/audio = y
MIDI interface = y
FM synth = y
I/O base = (your I/O address) [220]
IRQ = (your IRQ address) [5]
DMA = DMA address [1]
SB 16 DMA = SB 16 DMA [1]
MPU = MPU address [330]
SB MPU = SB MPU [-1]
Audio DMA buffer size = 65536
All other options are no [n]
goto 'Main Menu' and select Save and exit.
'make dep' (make dependencies)
'make clean'
'make zdisk' (to make a bootable disk to try it out first)
OR 'make zImage'
OR 'make zlilo'
restart computer with new kernel. Type 'cat /dev/sndstat' and see if the
SB settings are right. If yes, try
'cat somesoundfile.au > /dev/audio
It worked for me.
