Thanks a lot Danny, that mail gave me the kick I needed to upgrade to kernel 2.2. I was tired of the oss-demo shutting down after a couple of hours, so I decided to try out your recipe. Three tries, and it worked. 1. Didn't see the hint at the end... Failure 2. Tried as fixed in the kernel... Failure 3. Saw the hint. Fixed the bios setting. Recompiled as modules. SUCCESS! You're right the bios setting does make a mighty difference. So, once again thanks for the tips. I now have a working 2.2.3 kernel with my sound card working flawlessly.

Eric,

You're in luck. I have the same running. I messed around with it for awhile until I read a little page setup by the guy who wrote the yamaha driver. Following those directions, I came up with this. It does work.

With kernel 2.2.3:

<*> OSS sound modules <M> 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support <M> Generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support <M> Microsoft Sound System support <M> Support for Yamaha OPL3-SA2, SA3, and SAx based PnP cards <M> SoftOSS software wave table engine <M> FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support <M> Loopback MIDI device suppor then:

insmod mpu401 insmod ad1848 irq=11 insmod opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=3 insmod opl3 io=0x388

You can also put these it /sbin/init.d/boot.local/ and have them load on boot.

**HINT**: turn the BIOS "PNP OS" option "OFF". This makes all the difference in the world.
