Multimedia :: Sound help...



Hey bigfoot, that reminds me of old days :) In the 90s I had dialup, and having to wait for stuff was a big pain. It was an hour or so to retrieve one MP3. Hours get wasted with dialup.. You probably prefer the text-only Lynx browser (from DSL repository).

See what happens when you try this (first rmmod any sound modules if loaded):

modprobe mpu401
modprobe ad1848
modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x220 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1
modprobe opl3 io=0x388

I hope that what this will do is find the mpu and mss at the right place, but instead of using the OPL3 (Adlib) synth, find the normal SoundBlaster address at the usual 220h location. If it doesn't work, rmmod opl3, then do the same as above except change the last line to:

modprobe opl3 io=0x220

Good luck, and let us know what happens.

Try `sudo modprobe opl3sa2`

if this doesn't work, some reported that using the soundblaster driver works... try `sudo modprobe sb` (seems this works for sa3)

if both don't work, you can try using ALSA instead.

Thanks, I have tried for two hours until see your post "sudo modprobe opl3sa2". Now my archaic opl3sax souns tremendous :ghostface: !!!

how can we configure sound for Realtek drivers. (it is for my 'via' based AMD PC)?
sankarv: does this have to do with the opl chipset at all?  I've seem most integrated chipsets by realtek to use ac97.  Please post more details.
