Hi,I have the same soundcard. The only way i have it working is by installing sndconfig (only works with the 2.4 kernel). Go to a console (root) and do a apt-get install sndconfig. Then you can choose the ad1848 driver and give the parameters. You reboot and open a mixer and put the sound to the max. It's not perfect but it gives you sound.
Hope it will help you.

Was the above modprobe command done as root? sudo modprobe ad1848 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1

You may first want to run "rmmod soundcore", as root,to remove any currently loaded drivers.
Then try clivesay's ad1848 command line..as root..
Also , give cbagger01's alsadebs.dsl extension a try..
Read the .info file for instructions on howto use it..
Works when others don't - on more combinations of cards/chipsets.

DSL 2.1 won't even boot here on this HP 4150. It get to the line where it is setting up Soundcard: [MagicMedia 256AV Audio] driver=nm256_audio. However Knoppix 4.0.2 uses the same driver name and boots up fine.

does it boot with:dsl noaudio
or maybe
failsafe
at boot line.

I'll try.

As Suggested by cbagger01 I Tried booting with dsl noaudio I had the same hang up when it got to setting up the generic mouse.Also tried failsafe and DSL got through the boot fine.
So looks like it might not be the sound card causing the problems but maybe the mouse set up. I'll post in the part of the forum I guess.

The failsafe cheatcode is kinda like shorthand for a boot line that looks like this:| Code Sample |
dsl vga=normal atapicd nosound noscsi nousb nopcmcia nofirewire noagp nomce nodhcp xmodule=vesa |
So maybe you can mix-and-match the various bootcodes and see if you can find the one that helps you boot up OK.

Thank for the help.Again I did a comparison to the Knoppix boot CD and noticed that Knoppix used Generic PS/2 Wheel Mouse.
So looks like it's using a completely different driver

Edit: Updated This Post to fix the 0x370 in use PnP complaint at boot time, now works without complaint.I have the 256av sound working great on my Gateway Solo 2500 laptop.
Heres the jest of how I did it using the opl3sa2 drivers and stock dsl sound oss I believe it is. I'm going to try to get alsa working next.
setup your bios
your bios may look slightly different i'm not sure, but the values should have equivalents so use this as reference, this is how i got 256av sound working on my gateway solo 2500 so it *should* work for you as well.
| Code Sample |
F2 at boot to enter bios: >Advanced-->Integrated Peripherals: >On-board stereo sound [Enabled] my working settings are: I/O Adress: [280H-28FH] (0x280-0x28F) MPU-401 I/O Adress: [330H-333H] (0x330-0x333) INterrupt: [IRQ5] DMA Channel: [DMA CH0] WAVE 2 DMA: [DMA CH1] Joystick: [Enabled] |
Your Bios may allow you to define you MSS_IO if this is the case set it to:
| Code Sample |
MSS I/O Adress: [ 530H] (0x530) |
Setup your Sound
| Code Sample |
At the Desktop click the Emelfm icon. >navigate to /mnt/hda5/opt >select bootlocal.sh <R>click-->User-->View in Beaver >add this to your bootlocal.sh: sudo modprobe opl3sa2 isapnp=0 multiple=0 io=0x370 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 >save >exit |

try this it worked for me:first off in terminal:
su yourpassword
then type in:
rmmod soundcore
then type in:
modprobe ad1848
Then type in:
modprobe ad1848 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1
then add the line in opt/bootlocal.sh use emelfm as super user from the menu you may have to click the button to show hidden files.
modprobe ad1848 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1
Then reboot your system. When it boots back up click on xmms on your desktop to give it a test. Choose to play sky.com on your PL list if you have music your good to go. I also had to make tweaks to the mixer just really turning up the volume LOL
