alsa 0.90 beta 9 and sb16

alsa 0.90 beta 9 and sb16

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install the alsa drivers for an sb16 card. In fact, the only module that's not loading is the snd-card-sb16.o module. I'm assuming this is because I need to pass the irq and i/o values to it. However, I don't know what they are, and don't have anybody sighted here to look at the jumpers if I were to pull the case open. Is there any way I can find out what they are?  No, this box doesn't have windows on it. If it did, I would just solve this problem by looking at the device manager. Thanks for any help in advance.

You could randomly guess until you get it right. The base IO is most
likely at A220. The irq is most likely 5, but the next guesses would be
10, 11, 7. The sequencer is probably at A330.

greg look in your /etc/modules.conf because the i/o and irq parms are
there in the sound section.On Mon, 14 Jan 2002, Gregory Nowak wrote:

Hi:

there are 2 types of SB16 - PNP and not PNP.  Im assuming yours is not.
The most common and, IIRC, default config is:

snd_port=0x220 (this can be 220, 240, 260 or 280 IIRC)
snd_irq=5 (can also be 7, 9, 10 or 11 methinks)
snd_dma8=1 (though I've also seen it set to 3)
snd_dma16=5
snd_mpu_port=0x330 (this can change too)

Since I run one of these cards and just upgraded to 0.9beta10, I include my
aliases for alsa attached.

Geoff.

Thanks Shaun. However, aren't the parms different for every setup?
