ISA PNP soundcard /dev/audio /dev/dsp

[bruce1271]

Hi,

I have a isapnp card. the /dev/audio and /dev/dsp is missing from my mandrake 8.1 install.

Where is the sound output/input devices for this type of card usually located? I used isapnp isapnp.conf and got this output


Board 1 has Identity 76 04 03 02 01 00 20 32 0d: CIR2000 Serial No 67305985 [checksum 76]
Board 2 has Identity 74 ff ff ff ff 31 09 14 3e: OPT0931 Serial No -1 [checksum 74]
OPT0931/-1[0]{IDE CD }: Ports 0x376 0x170; IRQ15 --- Enabled OK
OPT0931/-1[1]{OPTi Audio 16 }: Ports 0x530 0x380 0x220 0xF8D; IRQ10 DMA0 --- Enabled OK
OPT0931/-1[2]{Game Port }: Port 0x200; --- Enabled OK
OPT0931/-1[3]{MPU401 }: Port 0x300; --- Enabled OK


any help is apprceiated on how to play/ record sound.

Thanks

Try /sbin/sndconfig. If it's no longer included in Mdk 8.1, you could download it.

I am using it, but it has a problem with modprobe on Directory:/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound


All the drivers there are .gz, do I need to unzip these first? It errors on unziped and zipped.

help!

Here is the exact error:




The following error occurred running the modprobe program: #

Does mad16.o.gz actually exist in /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/?

[bruce1271]

Yes,

there about 20 modules in there.

---------------------------------

ad1848 is a module like mad16. Why does it say no isapnp cards found when ablove it it says 2 isapnp cards found???

[bdg1983]

Is there a way to disable PnP on the soundcard and just use jumpers or a configuration utility to set the irq and i/o? Linux seems to like PnP disabled on devices.
