The entries in my kernal are as follows: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 I have set up the hardware in the BIOS for IRQ 5 and DMA 1. On boot the kernal says: "Hmm... Could this be an ESS688 based card (rev 6) NOTE! SB Pro support required with your soundcard! snd0: Does this mean that I've properly configured the card? I ask because when I try playing a wav file using wavplay I get the error message: i.e. I type waveplay filename.wav and get: openDSP: No such file or directory The system does list the wave file's stats: file name, sampling rate, etc. I found a page that suggests: the chip is a ESS688 which is the same as the ESS1688 but without the hardware midi support. So it seems that the chip is detected properly, I'm just missing small details on creating directories? I looked in the /docs area and through LINT but could find no answer to why I get the openDSP error or more about /dev/mixer, etc. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
