Two soundblaster



Hi all

I'm trying to configure two soundblaster 16 pnp isa in the same
machine. The two cards are not the same so they should be properly
recognized (both work on windows fine).

I'm using 2.2.18 kernel and have compiled the sb module. I have also
used isapnp.conf to setup both cards, and the configuration for them
is the following (which I've included into /etc/modutils/sb):

options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options sb2 io=0x240 irq=9 dma=3 dma16=6 mpu_io=0x300

The sb2 module is a copy of the sb module. I can't figure out how to
configure both sb cards with the same module, so I've done this.

The problem comes when trying to use the second soundblaster, which is
recognized as a Vibra16 by bios; the module is installed properly but
then it doesn't work. I've tried setting up sb2 with dma=0 dma16=3,
which make it sound, but it gives me "Invalid 16 dma".

Below I've included the output of the isapnp command, loading
/etc/isapnp.conf if it can be of any help:
  juli:[/home/juli] # isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf

  CTL00f0/-1[1]{Game                }: Port 0x210; --- Enabled OK

As you see it gaves no error, but I'm wondering about that -1...

Please, any info could be great :D

Thanks in advance.
