Gateway computers change with the calander. There is at least two P5-90 sound cards. The first P5-90 sound card is called the "Gateway 2000 Sound Card" and appears to be an OEM Sound Galaxy card. I have been able to get the SB base to configure and work, but I cannot get the mixer and midi to configure and work. In the last couple day I have spent some time in the VOX sound drivers (/sys/i386/isa/sound) -- this is DEFINATELY something to CHANGE, AND NOT DOCUMENT (and boy does it currently lack doumentation). There appears to be a special define for mixer configuration/detection of Sound Galaxy cards, but that still does not work. I am afraid this card may use non-stardard ports. In the /sys/i386/conf/XXX add: options EXCLUDE_GUS options EXCLUDE_GUS_IODETECT options EXCLUDE_PAS options EXCLUDE_SB_EMULATION options EXCLUDE_PRO_MIDI # Various sound card drivers. # See /sys/doc/sound.doc for more information. device snd2 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr device snd6 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 5 vector sbintr device snd1 at isa? port 0x388 device snd7 at isa? port 0x534 (as I said above snd6 and snd7 are not detected for me yet). the Sound Galaxy define I found in the sources is __SGNXPRO__. As I said before this define did not help. The other Gateway 2000 sound card is the ENSONIQ card, and that is totally different beast all together. Don't even bother trying with the current drivers. As you can tell I and still active in trying to get the GW2K Sound Card's mixer to work (,help!). Since it has happened twice this week that people asked question to things I have been looking into, does anyone have a Media Vision's Computer Eyes video capture board? (if not do not buy one of these peices of junk). --mark.
