I've got an intel i740 AGP. In the end I solved the problem by putting
the
soundcard in a different slot. This then changed the irq.
Apparantly Pc chips decided that no-one in there right mind would try
to use *both* the third pci slot and the agp one. I mean, how could
they
use all the expansion slots.
having done that, it turns out the irq conflict (or sharing as it
looks like it is) is not the problem.
lpci or cat /proc/pci detects the card, gives all the stats for it, but
a cat /proc/sound or cat /dev/sndstat doesn't show the card. I tried to
remake the /dev/sndstat /dev/dsp with mknod just in case but that didn't
work
either.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter Allen
