Eh. Being the uber-noobie I am, I neglected to reboot after loading the CS drivers.
After a reboot, I tried to play a stream with XMMS, and it would only play the first second over and over again. Same with a MP3 I tried.
I tried reloading the driver again, same settings as my last post, and it would work, although playing scratchy... until another reboot. Then it would do the same thing again.
So, I decided to just try out all the drivers, see which passed the sound test, see which worked after a reboot...
After about an hour, many drivers/reboots, and 2 asprin, I found out:
1. As long as the I/O port is 0x220, IRQ is 5, and the DMA is 1, it should work fine.
2. Linux is not for the impatient. =P
I found the one that works the best (for me) is the generic, old Sound Blaster driver, with the above settings. It gives some kind of error at boot, but it still works. The other sound blasters worked, along with a couple other drivers...
Anyway, just thought I'd put another post up for all 2 people with the 770z laptop.
Hope they find it useful. =)
