making sound work?
hello all,
this is going to be a long one I guess:
Problem: instaling sound
OS: Debian 2.2r3 (all 3 binary CD's)
Hardware: yamaha opl sax
What I've accomplished:
pnpdump >>/etc/isapnp.conf
uncommented the appropriate entries in isapnp.conf (dmesg now show the
card detected)
added the (again) appropriate entries in /etc/modules
(sound-slot-0...,options opl3sa2 mss_io,dma1...dmabuf=1, etc). I swear
by those settings (I just copyed them from the previous install -same
debian- where they worked -don't ask me what I've done then-);
now at boot it sees the card,it tries to initialise it and gives me a
bunch of errors that 'mss_io must be set, ...blah-blah...'; I log in,
lsmod and it shows all the modules loaded (belive me I've seen the card
working and I know that are all)
OK, I ignore the errors, install xmms (libesd was installed before
-maybe that's the problem?-), select output plugin esd AND IT JUST POPS
UP THAT WINDOW that tells me to check if my sound card ...blah-blah.
Now, I'm new to debian, although not to linux. I was used to redhat and
it allways autodetected it whithout no problem.
Am I skipping something that's obvious, or am I doing something wrong?
Best regards from Bucharest Romania
Dragos
