Sorry, I've been away for awhile (moving and changing size of /usr and /var :). First, the PnP features must be enabled in your kernel. Like this: # # THE SOUND CARD MAZE: # controller pnp0 # this enables the pnp features. controller snd0 # this enables the sound features (!) device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 vector sbintr # This is the sound blaster (low drq) device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 # This is also the sound blaster (high drq) device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 # this is the midi interface device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 # and this is... hmmmm... needed. :) device pca0 at isa? port IO_TIMER1 tty # and this well, it's the ugly PC-Speaker "back from the dead"! So if your kernel looks somehow different than this, try this one instead. (eh, it worked for me!!!) After successfully compiling and installing the kernel, you got to tell the sound blaster to behave. Which is you got to reboot, and enter "-c" at the "boot:" prompt. This will bring you to another prompt. That's the rough part. I never remember quite exactly... Well try this and tell me what it looks like. Type: 2 0 os enable irq0 10 drq0 1 drq1 5 port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 at the prompt. Little comments: I *think* that you can change the values as long as they conrrespond with the values defined in your kernel. Also, you can type "help" at the prompt, you can also type "list", to see what you've done. Also, as you'll see if you try 'help', that you can type the big command I showed you as many commands smaller: 2 0 os 2 0 enable 2 0 irq0 10 2 0 drq0 1 drq1 5 [...] You get the picture? Really hoping that this helps! Spidey On Sat, 25 Jul 1998, Erik wrote: > Hi again. here's more info. I'm on 2.2.7 and i'm sure it's setup like i > was told. i read reread then read it again.
