sound card help

[spork]

Hi,

Maybe you folks can help...

I just took a stab at sound using a SB compatible card. The sb device and
OPL device are found, but not the sbxvi0 device. From what I can gather
this means that I'm left with only 8 bit sound.

Here's what I get on boot:

sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
sb0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.1>
sbxvi0 not found
opl0 at 0x388 on isa
opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM>

Now I see the only thing I can really select on the sbvxi0 device is the
drq. I couldn't tell you what a drq is to save my life. IRQ, yep, base
address, got it... I've tried a pretty full range to no avail. The sb0
device is at drq 1, and the floppy controller is at 2. As far as I can
tell there's no way to set this on the card. Any ideas?

The card came from a Packard Bell, and other than an amusing sticker that
says "B GRADE", I don't have any info on the manufacturer. The chip that
appears to do all the work is an Aztech 2316-S.

Any ideas? Any other info that might be helpful? Might I have better
luck with the pcm driver? I couldn't find any pcm vs. sb entries in the
FAQ or handbook.

Thanks,

Charles

Are you sure your soundcard is SB16-compatible?

|sb0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.1>

Sounds like it might not be. Mine says:

sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa

snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13>
sbxvi0 at ? drq 5 on isa
snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13>
