To check if the BIOS has PnP enabled, when the PC boots you should have a point when the BIOS is checking the memory. Most BIOSes are triggered by pushing the delete button. Now you can go through the different options. There should be something like advanced options or supported peripherals and in here there should be a selection on PnP enabled or disabled. Set it to disabled and then set all the IRQ/DMA settings to Legacy ISA. This way the BIOS sets the IRQ/DMA settings for you. Windows w/ its PnP technology changes the IRQ/DMA settings every time a new card is installed or possibly a driver is updated. Also, if you are using KDE you can check to see what IRQ/DMA settings the Live! Card is using in the Control Center-->Settings-->IRQ and DMA sections. This will help you when you insmod the module, because you can pass the IRQ/DMA settings to the module at boot time.(i.e. insmod emu10k1 IRQ=11 DMA=3) NeoFax -----Original Message----- From: Briggs, N. - Neil - [mailto:N.Briggs@Canon-Europa.com] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 10:00 AM To: 'Milnes Terry SSgt 52 LG/LGOP' Cc: 'suse-linux-e@suse.com' Subject: RE: [SLE] (OT) Sound in other distros First are you using a SuSE supplied kernel from the main ftp directory?

YES Is the PnP marked as non-PnP OS in your BIOS? don't know, and do not know how to check this :-( I will insmod emu10k1 and send the corresponding output later today (at work on a windows m/c).

If all these are yes, please send a output of insmod emu10k1. This way we can see why the module is not loading. I have been using the emu10k1 drivers in SuSE since IIRC 6.1 was the first distro w/ it.

Whenever I use YAST 2 to configure the sound card. I select the sound card and YAST determines the 'driver' it should use. My memory fails me but for this explaination sake lets assume the driver is called snd-blas-16. When I select next in YAST 2 to install the driver I get the message that the driver cannot be loaded. What to do next I know not. Whenever I try to use yast 1 it crashes!!

I went and bought an SBlive 512 the other day for my office workstation because the POS AC97 was just a big ole pain in the arse. I popped the SBLive in and ran YaST2 ..about 10 minutes later I had working sound and YaST2 even installed the midi sound fonts for me off the CD..it asked me for the CD :) Try it again...it does work. -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal" -AE -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com
