Ok, this one is solved - it was a hardware issue, in as much as the card only works after a boot into DOS and then a soft-reset. I think otherwise the EEPROM chip on the card doesn't get initialized (module in config.sys) and it's as good as dead. Works fine and loads up like a SB pro after all, 16-bit on this card only works with MSS mode Thanks for all the input, I'll look out for the additions to the new driver jmdupoux_@_lineone.net John Utz wrote: > > Hi; > > On Fri, 19 Apr 2002 jmdupoux@lineone.net wrote: > > > ok, when I looked at man and the handbook the impression was that sbc > > was typically suited for some specific compatible chipsets, while sb or > > csa for example targeted others. > > not quite. the man page is a tad out of date. so you shouldnt take it to > be a full list. sbc is a bridge driver for things that know how to act > like an SB16. > > > But anyhow, now I've tried a build with sbc there still seems to be one > > or two problems > > > > it still looks like no mixer is being created, only one device created > > pcm0: <SB dsp 3.01> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 (1p, 1w, 1v channels) > > only gonna be one device. you have succeeded. so far :-) > recall that the other things midi, opl, etc dont work yet. > > > and the response from trying to play a file is not a sound output: > > > > sb_dspwr(0x40) timed out. > > sb_dspwr(0x40) timed out. > > sb_dspwr(0x40) timed out. > > sb_dspwr(0x40) timed out. > > > > before returing to the prompt, in complete silence > > oh. that's looking broken. :-( > > and upon reflection, the device string isnt looking good either. i'll ssh > into my box at home later, but i think that the SB dsp 3.01 isnt what i > would expect to see for the string, i'd expect a manufacturer's name. > > did you try just using pcm *without* sbc? we may be working too hard...pcm > may already know how to attach to your hardware already. > > > entering mixer by itself at the prompt gives me a list of current > > settings, all at zero, but any attempt to run for example mixer vol 10 > > returns mixer: MIXER_WRITE: Device not configured > > did you do a MAKEDEV? > > su to root, cd /dev and do an > > sh MAKEDEV snd0 > > and go back to being a normal user > > then do a > > cat /dev/sndstat > > and see what you get. then try mixer and see what you get. > > > still stumped > > were making progress tho..... > > > jmdupoux_@_lineone.net > > > > > > On 19 Apr 2002 at 10:43, John Utz wrote: > > > > > yup. > > > > > > jean, you need to add a c. > > > > > > you want sbc, not sb > > > > > > the sbc device is the pcm bridge driver for soundblaster compats. > > > > > > sb is the old voxware driver for sounblaster compats. > > > > > > subtle, but crucial :-) > > > > > > On Fri, 19 Apr 2002, Andy Sparrow wrote: > > > > > > > > Ok, here's the file - I havnt changed much from generic yet since the > > > > > soundcard was pretty much the only sticking point > > > > > > > > > # Multimedia support > > > > > # Sound card - aztech audio galaxy pro II cs4231 > > > > > > > > > > device pcm > > > > ^^^^^^^^^^ > > > > > > > > Non-VOXWARE > > > > > > > > > device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 0 flags 0x11 > > > > ^^^^^^^^^^ > > > > > > > > VOXWARE.
