| Hi.
I am new to Linux, I installed RedHat 6.2 yesterday.
Kernel version is 2.2.14-5.0; I cannot install newer versions - the box it
is running on is old 166MMX with 64 Mb of ram and 1.2 Gb harddrive.
So then, I have problems with sound.
I have sb16 pnp on that box; it used to work since my old dos days, and
under win3.11, and 95, and 98 ;)
I ran Vibra16 drivers under dos; sadly, I don't have them anymore. However,
I remember correct IRQ/DMA/IO settings I used for old games ;)
Then, it auto-detects and works correctly under win98, as Sound Blaster 16
PnP.
I tried to follow Linux howto; configured isapnp, it starts with "Enabled
Ok" message.
I also checked devices, abd line is slightly different wrom what is shown ib
the howto, it is
crw------- 1 root sys 14, 3 apr 17 1999 /dev/dsp,
and /dev/dsp part is yellow.
I don't have /drivers/sound directory in lib, but there's misc directory
with .o files named after many sound cards like adlib and such; there's also
sb.o.
When I use /sbin/lsmod, I get the list of soundcore 2692 0 (autoclean)
(unused), and also lockd, sunrpc and old_tulip that don't seem to be related
to the subject; no other lines like uart that are described in the howto.
Then, there's also no message about soundcard in dmesg output.
Howto suggests me to rebuild and recompile the kernel if I have no drivers;
however, I seem to have drivers, they're just not running; and as utter newb
I'd prefer not to fuss with Kernel stuff so far (Iam also using binary
distro, didn't compile anything).
Can I do something to this mysterious sb.o file to make it work? Or does
problem lie somewhere else?

| Ok, modprobe sb really helped... what I get now is
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
I am absolutely positive that the card is using IRQ 5, DMA 1 and IO 220...
Those 3 lines are uncommented in isapnp.conf...
/proc/dma has
1: Soundblaster8
and
5: soundblaster16.
/proc/interrupts, for some reason, shows that soundblaster resides at 7...
0_o
Should I re-set it in isapnp.conf?

oh btw, this is after several seconds of sound.

That freaky old beast will hopefully never get connected to any public
network.

Why? Is RH 6.2 specially insecure? I know a guy here who runs the same
version as ftp hosting for local LAN and it is the box with like p150, 64 Mb
RAM too, but a much larger HD.... I myself am planning to connect it to the
same VPN LAN, and it'sll have access to the internet... In fact, it will
probably be used for a small site hosting for me to play with ;)
