Okay, it's that getting sound card to work time of year again.

I've got a Yamaha OPL-SAx card :

pnpinfo says :
  CSN YMH0800 (0x0008a865), Serial Number 0xffffffff

  Logical device #0
  IO:  0x0220 0x0530 0x0388 0x0370 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000
  IRQ 5 0
  DMA 1 3
  IO range check 0x00 activate 0x01

Kernel config contains :
  controller      pnp0
  device pcm0
  #device pcm0 at isa ? port ? tty irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15
  #neither of the above two lines work properly.

/boot/kernel.conf contains :
  pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 port1 0x530 port2 0x388 port3 0x370
  pnp 1 0 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 3

dmesg says :
  CSN 1 Vendor ID: YMH0800 [0x0008a865] Serial 0xffffffff Comp ID: PNPb02f [0x2fb0d041]
  mss_attach <Yamaha YMF719 OPL-SA3>1 at 0x530 irq 5 dma 1:3 flags 0x13
  setting up yamaha registers
  set yamaha master volume to max
  pcm1 (CS423x/Yamaha/AD1816 <Yamaha YMF719 OPL-SA3> sn 0xffffffff) at
  0x530-0x537 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x13 on isa
  ...
  How strange... mss_intr with no reason!  (I get a lot of these sometimes)

The pcm driver just doesn't work properly [1], I've been through this before,
and I've tried to get the chipset specs from Yamaha (no luck).

In the past I've tried to get this card to work properly, and yesterday with
oss it worked properly for the first time (after oss caused me about 10
different panics/double panics etc.)

however I'd like to try to get this to work with the pcm driver or even the
voxware [2] driver. I assume that to do this I will need either someone who has
a working card to tell me how they did it, or alternatively if someone has the
relevant chipset information to send it to me.

Alternatively, I can buy a new card (I expect that once this card has failed
any attempts to make it work I'll put it in the bin - or I could send it to
someone who really wants to make it work =) )

Any help would be very much appreciated,

[1] I can get the card to play standard audio, but all the mixer channels are
wrong, i.e. synth is the cd player, mic/cd/line are all the wrong channels and
they don't always work, also the bass/treble channels don't come up in the
mixer.

[2] I'd like working midi, and I'd like to be able to use the synthesizer on
the card, as I beleive it's probably not all that bad, so maybe voxware is what
I want after all.
