Re: Yamaha opl3-SAX sound card configuration
Hi Grant :
I'm have a Yamaha OPL3-SA3, I was configured this card following the
instructions on http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/solo/216/yamaha.htm. This
instructions are valid for kernel 2.0.x, almost for 2.0.35
For the configuration of pnp I didn't use the windows configuration port. It is
important don't forget to enable the port 0x530 and use the port 0x534 for
ioport of CS4232.

What kernel are you compiling? I was compiled the kernel 2.1.12[567] and the
sound don't work. The configuration is good. The Audio, Synth, Mid, Timer and
Mixer devices are configured and controles. The installed drivers and card
config are not configured, why? I don't.

These instruction are wrong (out-of-date) if you are trying the kernel 2.0.x you
must use the CS4232 card as module. For kernels 2.1.x there is a modules for
OPL3-SA[23x] card.

Nothing.
