Hi, i've tried audacity, it loads an mp3 (the mp3 is ok, i tested it with windows on the same laptop), then i kan click it to play, and i see at the oszillator, that it is played, but i can hear nothing.
In the settings i see, that play and record are both to /dev/dsp.

I'm assuming that there is no hardware issue, and that you get sound from your speaker/headphone with Win 98 loaded. I'd be surprised if audacity would work if there were any soundcard/driver conflicts.

Play around with the sound settings, there may still be something weird. "External" or "amplifier" need to be muted if you use normal speakers...

Hi, i installed for a short time ubuntu, because i hoped, that i could get an answer about my problem in a german ubuntu-forum and much more people have ubuntu and could help me. In a forum i read  an answer about this problem and then i could play midi files with playmidi.
Now i am back to dsl, because ubuntu is too slow for my old laptop, but i found not playmidi at mydsl.
Has anyone an idea, which program i need to play midi-files?
This is not the ultimate solution, because now i get the error:
"Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error"
when i try to play mp3 with xmms, and for that problem i have till now found no answer, too in the ubuntu forums.

The DMAs are "dma=1 dma16=5"

With cat /proc/dma i get
1. Soundblaster8
4. cascade

Dmesg says
SB 3.01 detected OK (220)
ESS chip ES1878 detected

I had 3 compaq armadas ,and on everyone the ess soundcard could only be run by typing "sudo modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1"
If some foreowner mixed up the irqs it often causes the described problems.To get into the bios you have to mess around with those
bios diskettes by compaq/hp.The often easier way is to remove the knob battery found under the keyboard , together with the accu and the power supply for a while.After repowering it, all irqs are set to default values, wich are mostly the best choice for the armada , the sound will allways be found at irq 5 ,windows will detect new values automatically.Not to forget :every Armada has a built in microphone ,
just set the volume to 0 to prevent feedback noise.
