Multimedia :: No Sound, One More Time!

If a manual test works, you can then put that command into your /opt/bootlocal.sh file and it will work automatically at bootup (assumes you use the DSL backup/restore process).

I have a Compaq Armada 1520D and loaded DSL a couple of days ago. Lucky me came right to this forum and found Piccolo's suggestion. This command:

modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=4 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

worked straight away for me!

Thanks:laugh:

"modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 isapnp=no"

works for my old Compaq Armada 4160T (Pentium I 166 Mhz, 80 MB Ram)

But if i try to play MP3s i get only a bad Sound with interrupts. The CPU usage seems not over 60%. Is there a chane to get a better sound?

The notebook has no problems with MP3 playing in Windows NT 4.0...

after fighting with my acer note lite 370 (ES1688 soundchip) i finally found a solution to get the sound working!

and it was SO STUPID SIMPLE...

i just added "alsa=es1688" as a boot-parameter in GRUBs menu.list.

i am running DSL 3.4 RC1 - and this little command does the trick: sound, just as i want it!

so you might want to give this a try?

Code Sample

modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x388

Thanks Ted... this worked for me too!
