Greetings:
I bought, from a linux systems distributor, a SoundBlaster AWE64
soundcard. I cannot
get it to work. I use Linux Mandrake 5.3 (RedHat 5.2).
I ran sndconfig but it failed to set up sound (although my card is
listed in the soundcard list). I tried again and sndconfig would just
freeze, forcing me to have to kill kvt. This happened a number of times.
dmesg gives me
------
Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
sb: dsp reset failed.
AWE32: not detected
------
My old RedHat 5.0 Installation guide says that the AWE64 only works in
SB-16 mode. Isthis related to the [sound] problem?
I tried sndconfig --noprobe (this option somehow does not cause
sndconfig to freeze). Based on info in the second and smaller SB booklet
that came with the soundcard, I changed the settings as follows:
I/O PORT IRQ DMA 1 DMA 2 MPU I/O x
0x220 [5] 0 0 [0x330] x
0x240 7 [1] 1 0x300 x
0x260 9 3 3 x
0x280 10 [5] x
But it still does not work! I checked my Win95 partition and the sound
card is indeed installed on irq5 (where it works just fine).
I checked /proc/interrupts:
/proc]# more interrupts
0: 45539 timer
1: 282 keyboard
2: 0 cascade
3: 1988 + serial
8: 1 + rtc
13: 0 math error
14: 63529 + ide0
15: 0 + ide1
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance
Idris
