Mmmh. Because it can't detect your soundcard correctly :)
>From /usr/src/INSTALL.awe:
----------------------------------------------------------------
* Manual Installation on USSLite-3.5.4c / OSS-Free-3.7 with Linux 2.[01].x
- Copy awe_wave.c, awe_hw.h, awe_version.h, and awe_config.h onto
/usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/lowlevel.
Also, copy awe_voice.h on /usr/src/linux/include/linux.
- Apply a patch on linux source directory, /usr/src/linux.
This modifies Makefile, Config.tmpl and init.c on lowlevel directory,
and add a help file for configuration,
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help
- If your card can't be detected automatically, edit awe_config.h and
supply memory size and base address for your machine.
- Configure and make the kernel and modules as usual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Note the third remark. I think you have to edit awe_config.h in the
following way:
/*----------------------------------------------------------------
* AWE32 card configuration:
* uncomment the following lines only when auto detection doesn't
* work properly on your machine.
*----------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*#define AWE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR 0x620*/ /* base port address */
/*#define AWE_DEFAULT_MEM_SIZE 512*/ /* kbytes */
you should change to
#define AWE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR 0x620 /* base port address */
#define AWE_DEFAULT_MEM_SIZE 4096 /* kbytes */
Then it should work.
before you do it, could you test what happens if you load a lot of samples
with sfxload (more than four meg)? You can load the same big samples in
different banks with:
sfxload -b1 name
sfxload -b2 name
...
I would be interested in the error message (if any).
Thank you,
Marcus
