[PB] a quiet sound blaster
[ First, thanks to everyone answered my first post ]
It's amazing how my SB AWE 64 Gold can remain silent these days...
So, I followed the instructions in Marcus' mini HOWTO. Everything went right,
even the reboot step, but then, nothing works. Here are the symtoms:
* At boot time, the only line appearing is: "AWE32: not detected"[1].
* Trying to cat a sound file on /dev/audio says: "device busy".
* I also tried it manually:
`isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf' says a line similar to that of the mini HOWTO
`modprobe -r sound' says "device busy"
`modprobe -a sound' says nothing.
* Some other checks: cat /dev/sndstat outputs something very similar to the
example in the mini HOTWO, appart from the 2 AWE32 lines which are not
present. `lsmod' says a line about sound (usage number: 2) etc...
* My generated /etc/isapnp.conf look also very much like the example (appart
from a missing ->CD ROM<- entry, which is surprising because I know I have a
cdrom connected).
What can be going wrong ?
Footnotes:
[1] BTW, I already had an init file for isapnp in /etc/init.d, but I'm not
sure whether it is executed automatically at boot time or not. The HOWTO
speaks about a /etc/init.d/boot file, which I don't have.
