The patch files were NOT applied ... allegedly they have been merged into the primary line source. I know that when seeking to patch the patch files in, the errors produced indicated that most were incorporated, and the Alan Cox comments so indicate. The suggestion is offered in one of the Readme's to view /dev/sndstat, ato see if you're getting close. Mine reads: [hunter@pokey sound]$ cd /dev [hunter@pokey /dev]$ cat sndstat Sound Driver:3.5.4-960630 (Fri Dec 18 14:16:55 EST 1998 root, Linux pokey.513erich.iwaynet.net 2.0.36 #2 Fri Dec 18 13:09:47 EST 1998 i586 unknown) Kernel: Linux pokey.513erich.iwaynet.net 2.0.36 #2 Fri Dec 18 13:09:47 EST 1998 i586 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM Type 2: Sound Blaster Card config: Sound Blaster at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1,5 OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 drq 0 Audio devices: 0: Sound Blaster 16 (4.16) Synth devices: 0: Yamaha OPL-3 Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: 0: Sound Blaster [hunter@pokey /dev]$ ====================== There is no good summary for systematic debugging which I have been able to find -- the RH provided sndconfig routine complains about non-modular sound drivers, even when they are clearly present. The required config options are NOT localized in /usr/src/linux/.config, so that one might diff successive configurations to see what does and does not work. FWIW, these go with the setup above: ... # Sound # CONFIG_SOUND=m # CONFIG_PAS is not set CONFIG_SB=y # CONFIG_ADLIB is not set # CONFIG_GUS is not set # CONFIG_MPU401 is not set # CONFIG_UART6850 is not set # CONFIG_PSS is not set # CONFIG_GUS16 is not set # CONFIG_GUSMAX is not set # CONFIG_MSS is not set # CONFIG_SSCAPE is not set # CONFIG_TRIX is not set # CONFIG_MAD16 is not set # CONFIG_CS4232 is not set # CONFIG_MAUI is not set CONFIG_AUDIO=y # CONFIG_MIDI is not set CONFIG_YM3812=y SBC_BASE=220 SBC_IRQ=5 SBC_DMA=1 SB_DMA2=5 SB_MPU_BASE=330 SB_MPU_IRQ=-1 DSP_BUFFSIZE=65536 # CONFIG_LOWLEVEL_SOUND is not set # ... It might help to manually cut-and-paste this working setup in getting things going ... Good luck -- let us know. -- end ========================================== Copyright (C) 1998 R Phillip Hunter philhunter@usa.net NIC: PH2711 (US) Owl River Company 614 - 221 - 0695 "The World is Open to Linux (tm)" ...
