I have buyed a sound card "A-OPEN" including chip CS4237 PnP: AW35 Pro
When my rplayd start, I received this message:
rplay_audi_get_volume: pcm mixer device not installed.
What is my problem, I can read in the note "Probably your card use FM
Synthesizer for change the volume !" But what can I do with this probability ?
In my card's doc I can read: FM Music Synthesizer: SB base + 0~3 and SB base 8~9
Also my io address for WSS is 534H. And support DMA 0,1,3
Other Question: What is the best SB or MSS ? my card support both!
this is my dmesg:
