In fact there is some code which deals with such registers on the YMF711/715 (i think -- i am using them on the libretto) but just sets them to max volume. > 1) How on earth can I get the mixer to work properly ? see above -- the mixer works as you see, it is rplayd which needs to be taught to use it. > 2) How can I get the Voxware driver to work for this chipset, I think > it's probably possible, but using pnp at the same time makes it somewhat > harder to get anywhere. you mean the commercial one ? > 3) Has anyone got a similar card to use soundblaster mode at all ? some might, but MSS mode is the one which works best. > 4) Anyone got a datasheet on this chipset... not that i know of. > There's most of the other YMFXXXX chipset datasheets available here : > > ftp://ftp.yamahayst.com/pub/Fax_Back_Doc/Sound/ > > ..b ut nothing specifically for the 719, and I've got too slow a link > to get the 715 sheet and see if it mentions anything at all! > > I'm perfectly prepared to make a lot of changes to the code if need > be (well, by that, I mean I'm prepared to spend a a few hours if I > knew what to do that is). > > Finally, here's what the card think's about itself at boot time. > > > CSN 1 Vendor ID: YMH0800 [0x0008a865] Serial 0xffffffff Comp ID: PNPb02f > [0x2fb0d041] > Sound system attempting to use MSS codec. > 2. again using vend_id of a865 > Sound specific settings for Yamaha > 3. using vend_id of a865 > 3. Using special Volume settings for Yamaha card. that should be the volume setting to max that i mentioned. cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO .
