Alright,
If someone would help me out by taking the time to read all of this,I'd
appreciate it. I need help getting my sound going.
My Sound setup:
------
1) 'On main board' sound processor
2) The chip just says 'Sound Pro' with some other jargon on it
3) With the main board installation cd it has a section for sound card
specifis
4) The docs list this as a 'CMI8330: Sound card."
5) Listed compatability:
1 - Windows Sound System
2 - Sound Blaster 16/PnP/2.0
3 - Wave Table Synth.
4 - AdLib
5 - Win 3.1 / W95 / NT4.0
6 - OPL3 FM Synth
7 - Fully compat. MPU - 401 MIDI Uart mode
My Kernel
-------
1) Yes I can compile it :)
2) Yes I am *DEFINATELY*EXTREMELY* sure the current kernel is booting
3) Using 2.0.35-1 (standard RH5.1 kernel)
Kernel Sound Options:
-------
(I always use make xconfig to do the kernel)
1) Sound car suppory - yes
2) Generic OLP3 Support - Yes
3) MS Windows Sound System - Yes
4) /dev/dsp and dev/audio support - yes
Base io for sound blaster = 220 (same as in my windows install)
irq = 5
dma = 1
hdma (16 bit) = 5
MS Sound system io base = 530 (as as windows install)
MSS IRQ = 10
MSS DMA = 3
Problems:
--------
1) Obviously, sound don't work :)
2) /dev/sndstat reports nothing !!!!!!
3) and the boot process reports nothing with respect to sound devices.
You might be quick to say its a problem in the kernel, I agree :)
However, I KNOW I am booting the recompiled kernel as I screwed up my
CDROM drivers and PPP support.
Any suggestions? What can I do? Kicking the box doesn't help either :)
I've tried to explain the sound system as best I can, make it clear
what
options I am using in the kernel, and explicily say that I'm getting
the
right kernel to boot.
It takes me about 11 minutes to cycle a kernel and after probably
dozens
of trys, nothing :( nothing from /dev/sndstat :(
thanks a bunch
