Multimedia :: sound card not detected?



Oops, correction.
Boot with "dsl alsa=opl3sa2" because the bootup script appends the "snd-".
ok i added "alsa=opl3sa2" to the append part of lilo.conf

i tried the command you wrote "modprobe snd-opl3sa2 isapnp=0 port=0x370 sb_port=0x220 wss_port=0x530 fm_port=0x388 midi_port=0x330 irq=5 dma1=0 dma2=1", but then it said,

/lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-opl3sa2.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-opl3sa2.o: insmod /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-opl3sa2.o failed
/lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-opl3sa2.o: insmod snd-opl3sa2 failed

i tried the rmmod snd-opl3sa2 before that and it said it wasn't loaded.

edit:  but i really think this is the last step.  just getting the right settings.  i tried with isapnp=1 and it didnt work, and with dma1=1 and dma2=0 and it froze.  i'm so close.  :)
i started the dsl vga=788 alsa=opl3sa2 fb800x600 and the sound card said it was using alsa(opl3sa2) as the driver with the livecd.  however, when i put that at the append place at lilo.conf it still says ad1848 inside the hard drive install.
ad1848 is a "sub-module" (it's a hardware codec) used by the OSS opl3sa2 sound driver.

I suspect you have not updated your new lilo configuration.
Run "lilo" without the quotation marks, then reboot.
ty! you were correct, i didn't run that command.  :)

so i did that and it starts up detecting the alsa driver.  then i could actually play sound, although after about a minute it freezes.  i couldn't rmmod or mobprobe -r snd-opl3sa2 though.  it said it was busy.  

so i just added the options to the modules.conf (the ones that were listed on the last page), but it froze after like two seconds.  afaik, those should be the right settings.  i'll try playing around with the settings a bit more and perhaps it'll work.  you know of anything else i can do?
