Re: AWE64 making loud noise on bootup
There is an AWE64 soundcard gathering dust in the mess of wires behind
my computer. I've never tried to do anything fancy with my Ensoniq
ES3771, but it playes music nicely. I got it because it is one of the
named cards in the kernel config, and because it's only $20.
I happen to be a musician, but if I'm going to use my computer for stuff
related to that, it'll have to be Pro-Tools on a Mac: specialized pretty
hardware, and software that'll work. Almost as good as a 4-track...
Incidentally, I got my AWE-64 to work once. *ONCE*. I have no idea how,
as I'd lost count of the number of kernel compiles I'd done by then, and
the ISAPNP stuff..? Normally cryptic stuff like that interests me, but
not in this case.

Have a good evening.
