Is there a How to anywhere that goes through the steps of installing an old ISA PnP soundcard in SuSE? It is a Creative Soundblaster AWE 32 card. It works lovely but I have never got it running under version of Linux. Unfortunately it is not a jumpered card otherwise I may have been successful. I can - and have - taken all the IRQ settings etc many times.
Any ideas? Simple ones please :-) but not of the throw it in the bin sort, I'd rather wring out the last vestiges of use form this card if I can.
Yast? Try to detect it. It will tell that it can not detect any PCI card and will offer to scan for old ISA cards. As far as I remember there is a bug in yast module to do so in 10.0. I did reported it on opensuse bugzilla. As a workaround, I used alsa-config. You can check this link: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=117688 Also, you may search the list archives for my post on 7 Nov 2005, named "Autoloading of sound modules". There are the steps to make it run. Also, if you get the same problems with yast, feel free to add a comment to the bug report, so it receives more attention. Cheers -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)
