I have tried making quality sound output on two systems with the sound blaster compatible sound cards. I use splay and the sound is atrocious. I force output to mono and its still atrocious, but at least I can make out what notes are supposed to be played. The sound card is found on the correct port, IRQ, and DRQ. The exact same result has been found on two systems, but only with sound blaster compatibles. I'm using an old (Aztech) packard bell generic piece of ____ that generated decent sound in windows, my friend is using an AWE 32. We both get the same quality sound. Incidentally, I plugged a gravis ultrasound into the computer, compiled that device into the kernel, and it sounds beautiful. The gravis has only one (ignorable) problem. The first virtual terminal gets flooded with the error code isa_dmastart:channel 5 busy. If I switch the kernel config to try a different dma X, then the error would be isa_dmastart:channel X busy. Any feedback would be appreciated.
