Hello, I had lots of problems getting this card to work but eventually it was real simple after I kind of knew what I was doing and the usr/src/linux/Documentations/sound/ actually describes it well how to implement with modules. Now I implemented with direct kernel inclusion and it works but I got a couple errors while booting and I like to know how to fix those. I attach the output here.... boot messages: Sound initialization started Found OPL3-SAx (YMF719) <MS Sound System (CS4231)> at 0x534 irq 9 dma 0,1 <MPU-401 0.0 Midi interface #1> at 0x330 irq 9 dma 0 MSS: I/O port conflict <-error mpu401: I/O port 330 already in use <-error <Yamaha OPL3> at 0x388 Sound initialization complete <prompt>cat /dev/sndstat OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 Load type: Driver compiled into kernel Kernel: Linux shango 2.2.12 #2 SMP Sat Aug 28 07:01:37 EDT 1999 i586 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: MS Sound System Type 27: Compaq Deskpro XL Type 42: OPL3SA2 Type 45: OPL3SA2 MSS Type 43: OPL3SA2 MIDI Type 88: AD1816 Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM Type 5: Roland MPU-401 Type 26: MPU-401 (UART) Type 37: Loopback MIDI Device Card config: OPL3SA2 at 0x370 irq 9 drq 0,1 OPL3SA2 MSS at 0x530 irq 9 drq 0,1 OPL3SA2 MIDI at 0x330 irq 9 drq 0 (Compaq Deskpro XL at 0x530 irq 11 drq 3) <-error?
