Re: I'm in tears: SB 64 still not there.
I suggest a few things. First would be to make a 2.2.x kernel. Sound is
much easier under that system. I run 2.1 with 2.2.5 kernel with no
problems. Biggest pain will be transferring your settings from your old
kernel to the new one, but that's not too difficult. Just kick up two
xconfigs (one for 2.2.x and other for 2.0.36) and match as much as you
can. 2.2.x kernels have a lot more options. Secondly, you're going to
need to find out what DMAs your sound card uses. Then, I'd uncomment the
appropriate lines in your isapnp.conf and see what happens. The isapnp
output for the fatal conflicts has a comment saying it could be a warning.
I have a resource conflict when my pnp modem is detected that I still
haven't figure out, put it works so it's on a low priority. I'd see what
arrises when you uncomment out the right lines for your card in the
isapnp.conf.
