Sound

["Robin Beckett" <subwolf@mail.enterprise.net>]

Correct me & modify as needed. :)

Right, we appear to have sorted the modem, problem, thanks very much. The 
XFree86 problem still exists, but I'm working on that.

The other problem I have currently is with sound. I have a Sound Blaster 16 
which is usually on Address 220, IRQ 5, DMA's 1 & 5, 330 for Midi, etc.
I've read the Sound-HowTo document, and downloaded the VoxWare Sound drivers 
2.5, but not had much luck so far. The installation instructions aren't that 
helpful.

One would assume that I'm going to have to rebuild the kernel, etc, so where 
can I find a copy of the source for it? Do I already have it but I don't 
realise it?

Help! Maybe I should've used the copy of UNIX System V release 4 in the attic, 
'cause we've got stacks of books... but this is more fun! :)

I've successfully got LOADLIN working now anyway, which should stop me 
constantly changing the MBR to swap operating systems. Phew. Can one assume 
that if I rebuild the kernel I will have to copy it across again?

And finally... on bootup it's still looking for all kinds of hardware that I 
don't have, and I read somewhere about how to remove it... can I assume that 
since I may have to rebuild the kernel to get sound support, then the other 
hardware support is in there too, i.e. a rebuild will get rid of it?

Cheers.



Have fun,

RtB.
