PC: IBM 300PL Type 6862-A7U P2 400MHz with 384Meg of RAM BIOS set to PNP OS = NO Actual chip CS4235-KQ SuSE shows ISA PnP Cirrus Logic CS4235-9 sound card. YaST Hardware info shows three instances of: Crystal Multimedia audio controller (identical) "alsaconf" finds CS4236 card After a reboot, sound is non-functional until after running alsaconf. While running alsaconf, when process writes to modules.conf, I get an error message: aplay:pcm_write:1007:write error:Input/Output error During playback of test.wav, the system plays the first 0.5 second or less of the wav file about 10 times then stops. BUT XMMS is able to play songs, mostly. It sometimes halts for no apparent reason. Attempt to play test.wav with "aplay", results in same "stutter" of the wav file. I'm going bonkers here. I've done the Google search, and didn't come up with anything helpful. Does anyone have any good advice? RedHat and Mandrake have a nifty tool called "sndconfig" that worked wonders with the card, but I forgot to grab that part of the modules.conf file before wiping it to install SuSE. -- Todd Young 7079 Dawn Ave. E.
