My Creative ViBRA16x ISA PnP sound card is just not installing properly... (It works fine in 10.1.) YaST->Hardware->Sound shows: Index: 0 Card Model: Creative ViBRA16X Selecting Volume shows up nothing. Play Test Sound produced no sound. Following some debugging info found on the net, I Deleted the device and tried to configure it again with Edit. The result was: "The kernel module snd-sb16 for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters." Next I tried using alsaconf version 1.0.18. I get the selections of "sb16 Creative ViBRA16X PnP" and "legacy Probe legacy ISA (non-PnP) chips. I've tried both with no luck. Both produce this error after "OK, sound driver is configured...": "Loading driver... Starting sound driver: sb16 done Setting default volumes... amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory Saving the mixer setup used for this in /etc/asound.state. /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1513: No soundcards found..." I tried "rcalsasound restart" next and got... Shutting down sound driver Starting sound driver: sb16 No change. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install SUSE 11.1 on system with Creative ViBRA16X ISA PnP soundcard. 2. Try to play sound (no luck?) 3. Use YaST->Hardware->Sound to configure (no luck?) 4. Use alsaconf to configure (no luck?) 5. ??? Actual Results: For YaST->Hardware->Sound config: "The kernel module snd-sb16 for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters." For alsaconf: "Loading driver... Starting sound driver: sb16 done Setting default volumes... amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory Saving the mixer setup used for this in /etc/asound.state. /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1513: No soundcards found..." Expected Results: For YaST->Hardware->Sound: Expected sound test to play and soundcard to be device 0 for sound For alsaconf: Expected sound test to play and sound to be working, at least minimally as root. Users need "audio" group to be added to permissions.

Under 10.1, ISA PnP lists two Creative ViBRA16X. 11.1 lists the same two Creative ViBRA16X devices but also 14 "Unclassified device"s.

The soundcard is still not working though. "modprobe snd-sb16" does not seem to do anything. What is the mechanism that tells the system that soundcard 0 is the snd-sb16? How is that assignment done? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Otherwise the sound driver won't probe the device. It will check only PnP devices automatically as default. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The result of turning off PnP bios does produce the same PnP devices as in 10.1. 11.1 results: .. <6>isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... <6>pnp 00:01.00: increased option port range from 0x388-0x388 to 0x388-0x3f8 <6>pnp 00:01.00: increased option port range from 0x388-0x388 to 0x388-0x3f8 <6> 00:01: card 'Creative ViBRA16X PnP' <6> 00:02: card 'U.S. Robotics 56K FAX INT' <6>isapnp: 2 Plug & Play cards detected total <6>Serial: 8250/16550 driver8 ports, IRQ sharing enabled <6>serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A .. <6>sb: Init: Starting Probe... <6>OSS SndBlstr 00:01.00: activated <6>sb: PnP: Found Card Named = "Creative ViBRA16X PnP", Card PnP id = CTL00F0, Device PnP id = CTL0043 <6>sb: PnP: Detected at: io=0x220, irq=5, dma=1, dma16=3 <6>SB 4.16 detected OK (220) <4>SB16: Bad or missing 16 bit DMA channel <4><Sound Blaster 16 (4.16)> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 1,3 <6>sb: Turning on MPU <4><Sound Blaster 16> at 0x330 irq 5 <6>sb: Init: Done .. The only bit I can pick out that doesn't match up with the sound configuration tool in YaST is dma16 being 3. (The sound config tool in YaST only allows 5,6,7, which does match allowable jumper settings for the card.) In 10.1, it doesn't seem to matter that dma16=3. As another test, I installed Kubuntu 9.04. It had the same soundcard detection issue, however I was able to get the sound working with just "modprobe snd-sb16". The same modprobe with the same options didn't work in SUSE 11.1. Please request any piece of info you need to resolve this issue. I'll do my best to provide the info quickly. SUSE 11.1 works great, except for the sound...
