Re: [TCLUG:4163] mp3's make noise

[Christopher McKinley <lamfada@lugh.net>]

Same card I have, it should work ok if you follow the instructions in
Documentation/sound/Soundblaster.  Basically, you need to use isapnp to
PnP initialize the card and in your startup scripts you need to
/sbin/modprobe sb with your cards irq, io, dma and dma16.  In my
rc.modules, it looks like this:

/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
/sbin/modprobe sb irq=5 io=0x220 dma=1 dma16=5 

If you want AWE32 midi, etc, the Documentation/sound instructions should
help you.  I haven't bothered, so I don't know for certain.  Good luck.
