AWE 64 Troubles despite following FAQ
I recently purchased an AWE 64 Value and have been pulling my hair out
trying to get it to work properly on my Debian system. I have read
through Sound-HOWTO as well as the fine "Soundblaster AWE 32/64 HOWTO" by
Marcus Brinkman. However, despite all my efforts I am still not able to
get the WaveTable portion of the card to be recognized by the sound
driver. Here's what I get when I try installing the sound module:
xwing# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
Board 1 has Identity 3f 1f 5e 91 4e e4 00 8c 0e: CTL00e4 Serial No
526291278 [checksum 3f]
xwing# modprobe -a sound trace_init=1
Sound initialization started
<Sound Blaster 16 (4.16)> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 1,5
<Sound Blaster 16> at 0x330 irq 5 dma 0
<Yamaha OPL3 FM> at 0x388
Sound initialization complete
AWE32 not found
AWE32: not detected
For some reason, the driver cannot detect the AWE32 portion of the card,
which I'm assuming is the WaveTable portion. If anyone could shed some
light on how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
