I have been ahving terrible problems with my sb Pro 3.1 clone. My 2.1.5 kernel was compiled with: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr and on booting: Dec 24 10:59:11 rhiannon /kernel: sb0 at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 on isa Dec 24 10:59:11 rhiannon /kernel: sb0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.1> is detected. I have the requisite devices: lrwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 6 Dec 26 23:30 /dev/audio -> audio0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 4 Dec 27 00:03 /dev/audio0 (similar for midi etc) *yet* Whenever I try and use it, the device locks up after playing for a second or two. With nas and voxware, I can start au and use auplay. A wav file will play for about a second then freeze. The server needs to be killed (SIGKILL) and restarted before it will respond again. It is the device I suspect because rplay and raplay were similar though the server locked up after only 1/2 a second of sound and is so frozen that not even a kill -9 will kill it. If I used cat <some file> > /dev/audio I'd get a second or so of noise then nothing though ^C and then catting another file gave another second of noise so the device was not hung totally. I have a prnter also on irq7 though it was switched off at the time and even killing lpd didn't help. I assume having a sb and parallel port both on 7 is pretty standard anyway so it seems unlikely this is the problem. I've been stumped for 2 months on this and to anyone who can help me and prevent me going nutty over this I extend an offer of a pint of any beer you fancy if you meet me at the Geebung Polo Club.
