Problems with /dev/audio

[Michael Roark <roark@telconnect.com>]

I have been fiddling around with getting audio going today and have run
into a snag. I am using a Hitachi C-120 laptop that has a Sound Blaster
16 compatible board. I have compiles the kernel to support it and such,
but I am getting devide busy when tkdesk tries to us an .au file. Also,
when I try to cat an .au file to /dev/audio all I get is a faint
clicking noise from the speakers.

The output from cat /dev/sndstat follows:


Sound Driver:3.5.4-960630 (Sun May 10 16:39:07 EST 1998 root,
Linux suse 2.0.33 #7 Sun May 10 16:10:17 EST 1998 i586 unknown)
Kernel: Linux suse 2.0.33 #8 Sun May 10 16:41:26 EST 1998 i586
Config options: 0

Installed drivers: 
Type 2: Sound Blaster

Card config: 
Sound Blaster at 0x240 irq 10 drq 1,1

Audio devices:
0: ESS ES1688 AudioDrive (rev 11) 

Synth devices:

Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Timers:
0: System clock

Mixers:

If you notice, there is a Sound Blaster entry under installed drivers
and under Card config, but not under Audio devices. It shows the ESS,
which also shows up in the boot messages.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Michael
