Well
Just want to split my problem in two parts.
Here is first part
Hi there!
Just installed MDK 10.0 on old Compaq DeskPro EN (PII/333) with ESS1868 on-board audio card.
During installation I was prompted to run "sndconfig" for sound card.
Installation was fine.
Run "sndconfig" as root,audio card was not detected, select ESS1868 from list.
All default values (IRQ=5,DMA=0,I/O=220) were OK for my card.
I checked HardDrake - no sound card is detected!
Somehow some strange noise is coming from PC speakers.
So question #1 is - is it OK for Linux that ISA PnP card is not on a list in HardDrake?
Then I checked "dmesg"
"......
Limiting direct PCI/PCI transfers.
isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
isapnp: No Plug & Play device found
........
sb: Init: Starting Probe...
sb: Probing legacy card with io=220, irq=7, dma=1, dma16=5
SB 3.01 detected OK (220)
ESS chip ES1869 detected
sb: Interrupt test on IRQ7 failed - Probable IRQ conflict
sb: Turning on MPU
sb: Init: Done
"
Question #2 - Why it tries to check with "io=220, irq=7, dma=1, dma16=5" when in sndconfig I put other parameters?
Pls answer only my questions - I already read Sound HOWTO. :unsure:
