In its prior configurations (as first a Caldera box and then, a Mandrake 7.2 box), I have able to get my Soundblaster 16/AWE 32 compatible ISA sound card to work. Caldera detected it during install, while in Mandrake, I had to run sndconfig (or something like that) from a terminal to set it up.
The configuration through YAST2 does not work in my particular situation. However, I think this is due to some other underlying problem.
First of all, I installed the system via an FTP installation, so if I'm missing any modules, etc., I could use some instruction as how to go through the system to "grab" the appropriate packages.
For example, at login, xconsole launches (don't know if this happens by default or not). Three messages come up:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-0 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-0
If I run the sound card config through Y AST2, I do the following:
Start ALSA and Start sequencer are checked (default) I then click on "Add soundcard" and select Soundblaster 16
I then get the message:
"An error occured during installing: The kernal module snd-card-sb16 for sound support could not be loaded." I also get admonished to make sure that ALSA is correctly installed (something of which I am not aware of a way to check). It also suggests potentially trying OS/Free or another module.
Funnily enough, I just compiled and installed the latest ALSA yesterday. As root, try doing a 'modprobe snd-card-sb16' and see what the output is. My guess is that since this is an ISA sound card, the IO/IRQ are not set up quite correctly. Also try the 'lsmod' command to see if there's already a sound module loaded.
