Re: ES1869 sound chip driver
Thanks! Xmms has the same problem - repeating portions of the audio
multiple times before moving to the next portion. I checked the system
log with dmesg as suggested and get the following indicators:
SB 3.01 detected OK (220)
ESS chip ES1869 specified
sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict
<ESS ES1869 AudioDrive (rev 11) (3.01)> at ox220 irq 7 dma 1,5
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Last line repeated numerous times.
Looking at /proc/interrupts shows:
0: 5227309 XT-PIC timer
1: 1430 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
7: 0 XT-PIC soundblaster
11: 5831 XT-PIC eth0
12: 30743 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
14: 26632 XT-PIC ide0
15: 1 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
Can anyone help further, or recommend what to check next?
Thanks much,
Russ
