hi questions list i'm running 4.9-release on a sony grx516md notebook. everything went fine except that i cannot get the soundcards working properly. i have an onboard soundcard: pcm0: <Intel ICH3 (82801CA)> port 0x18c0-0x18ff,0x1c00-0x1cff irq 9 at device 31.5 on pci0 pcm0: <Yamaha YMF753 AC97 Codec> which never used to work very good with any os other than windows.. i tried to run various 5.x, allways resulting in a kernel panic on boot (tried with and without acpi). the bad thing about this notebook is you cannot set anything besides the system clock in the bios.. i think that's what is causing the problems. when i'm adding option PNPBIOS to my 4.9 kernel i get the same result: kernel panic on boot. at the moment the internal soundcard only plays when i'm moving my usb mouse (sounds strange but that's how it is: move the mouse: sound plays - stop the mouse: sound stops). so i finally decided to get another soundcard for my notebook and i found a really nice thing which happens to have a lot of other features besides playing mp3's. it's a: uhid0: Hercules Hercules DJ Console, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 3/0 ums1: Hercules Hercules DJ Console, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 3/0 ums1: 2 buttons uhid1: Hercules Hercules DJ Console, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 3/0 uaudio0: audio rev 1.00 pcm1: <USB Audio> on uaudio0 so i have the internal ac97 card as pcm0 and the external usb card as pcm1. i followed the steps in the handbook and created the device nodes. so far everything went ok, but now i can't get anything out of /dev/dsp1. kde's arts sound system says 'Operation not supported by device' the first time i'm trying to use it and 'Device is busy' the next try, although fstat |grep dsp shows up nothing. i'm pretty stuck now, google turns up a lot of stuff but the usefull stuff is turn on PNPBIOS in kernel which results in a panic :/ i'd really like to use that external thing without having to run windows in a vmware session, so any hints would be appreciated. thanks and best regards jonas
