I have checked the volume... turned them up to 100.... I heard the fuzz/buzz when i move the mouse before I even type in any modprob commands.... right after a fresh boot.i even hear it during bootup when the configuring devices bar is going accost. I don't know what you mean with cat /home/dsl/.umix

also, in my bios i did turn off plug n play os. and the large disk access mode was for DOS and Other (says to change to other for unix, novel netware and other operating systems) so I changed it to other.

Hey guys, I was wondering about this OPL3 soundcard. Under Windoze, it's possible to choose internal FM synthesis to generate MIDI instrument sounds. Can you do this with Linux as well?

The soundcard was correctly autodetected you say. The fact that XMMS appeared to play the sound file suggests that you successfully added the sound modules. I trust you've checked a second time that all your volume levels (incl PCM/WAV/synth) are maxed out, and your audio hardware is correctly connected to your speakers.  This leaves 2 possibilities:

1) Hardware problem (never heard of any problem with a soundcard, but I suppose it could happen;
2) The settings you entered for interrupt and/or dma and/or "SB" address (given by the other guy as 388 and 380) are wrong.

Have you gone to Yamaha website and found the correct settings in the datasheet for OPL3-SA?

The other thing is that in some computers there is a BIOS setting "Enable/Disable Sound". If its disabled you will hear the hiss you described, when you try to play with the volume at 100%. I've made that mistake myself, so check your BIOS again. Is there an option to "Enable sound"?

True Creative Sound Blasters always work, but the older ones are better than the new ones (Audigy etc.)
