Multimedia :: Got sound working on Toshiba laptop



Sound is also working on my Laptop. My problem is that I can't control my volume. Wmix says "error: device mask ioctl failed". The xmms-volume slider doesn't work, too.

I have controlled my addresses in the bios several times, they're allright...

Yes 10st, you just need to place this line in your /opt/bootlocal.sh.
modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0, then save it. If you are using the bootable cd, make sure to backup your settings to a thumb drive or some other disk partition. If its a hard drive install it should work on reboot. You don't know how hard I looked for this very information about a year ago, and I found here in these forums.

This worked perfectly to get the sound working on my Gateway Solo 9100 laptop.  Thanks for the help!
On my Toshiba 430 CDS (Pentium 120 MHz with 48 MB RAM) I had to do the following :

Code Sample
modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 esstype=688


Now I can play Mp3 music saved on disk (I never could do that with Win 95) but only with mpg321 in Joe's Window Manager. And if I move the mouse or do anything the sound starts cracking. In Fluxbox 0.9.11 (my default WM) the CPU seems to be overloaded, especially with XMMS it's inaudible.

But well the goal is achieved : turning this 9 year old computer into a 1 Gig Mp3 player which I can use with the 15 year old stereo of my wife to listen to downloaded music.

DSL beams me up  :D

Edit : after compressing the audio files with a different bit rate it works much better.
thanks !
my NB is LENEND Soleil 5200
CPU:MMX166
RAM:16+64M

opl3sa2 now can work!!!!!
thanks !
DSL is great
