Hi, what distribution do you use? I have just installed Definite 7.0 from the new Linux Format magazine (Redhat equivalent distribution) and it comes with sndconfig. I ran it from root, chose SB16 as a card type and gave it my IRQ/DMA settings and it works for simple stuff. I have never got (any) Linux to work properly with the DMA16 settings but it is fine for what I want. I have a generic SB16/WSS card. I guess that every dist has an equivalent config tool. BTW In my file /etc/conf.modules sndconfig has added these lines for me: post-install awe_wave /bin/sfxload /etc/midi/GU11-ROM.SF2 alias sound sb pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1 alias midi opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=7 mpu_io=0x330 If you want to do it the hard way, read the Sound-HOWTO that comes with the dist (try 'locate Sound-HOWTO' to find it). Also read the docs (loads) that come with the kernel source in dir: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/ HTH, Dermot [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver@stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]
Hi there, I've had a fair amount of experience with this very problem, being a composer by trade :-) I think the most comprehensive and useful drivers available are the ALSA drivers available from http://www.alsa-project.org which are free, easy to compile and support a vast number of cards including most of the Crystal Semiconductor chipsets (like your own). It works best with KDE, so I suggest you get that if you're not already running it. Cheears, eD

Don't know where you got that idea from. ALSA is working fine with Gnome here. The installation tools are all console, so all systems should be happy. -- | MJR "Everything is planned, from -- crime to leisure time."
