I recently got around to adding support to my kernel for my SoundBlaster 16 card. This is one of the older cards, non-PnP, everything jumper-set. It's set on IRQ 10, DMA1, 16-bit DMA 3, address 220h... everything is the default except for the IRQ (the default is 7). The kernel recognizes it on bootup: sb0 at 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 on isa sb0: sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa sbxvi0: sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa opl0 at 0x388 on isa opl0: I also used the MAKEDEV script to create a devide node snd0, which in turn created /dev/audio0 (and /dev/audio as a symlink to audio0). The problem is that whenever I try to use the sound device, it tells me it's busy. Doesn't matter whether I'm a normal user, or root... the same thing happens: [2]root@ds9:/root # cat ~data/kh_theme.wav > /dev/audio /dev/audio: Device busy. Nothing is using the device; I even tried a full shut down and reboot, just to make sure. I checked around the handbook and FAQ, but couldn't find anything to help me out. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong, or if I missed something, and how I can correct it? Thanks in advance! ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.org * * WWW: http://home.dreamhaven.org/~data * * "Stop smirking, Number 1." -- J.L.
