Sound card IRQ
Me: New user of Debian Linux on 486.
Problem: sound module insists on looking at IRQ 7 ("sb: Interrupt test
on IRQ 7 failed - device disabled" or something like that). Need it to
look at IRQ 5.
Hardware: unknown brand 8-bit Soundblaster-compatible mono... jumper-set
to IRQ 5 by choice. Port 220, DMA 1.
Tried: adding arguments to module (eg. insmod sound irq=5), searching on
web, reading old debian-user list archives, reading Linux HOWTO on
soundcards (they say recompile kernel... but this is such an easy thing
there's got to be something I missed, right?).
Asking for: pointers to man pages, documents or web pages I missed,
please? Or a simple answer. :)
Thanx for all replies in advance!
