According to what Linux told me (I _used_ to run Linux), I have an opl2/opl3 card (Yamaha FM, etc.). I've read the handbook about sound (the little bit there was). I have installed the snd-util & snd-data packages for Linux, and included the opl at isa? 0x388 conflicts section in my kernel config file. When I recompile the kernel, I Yamaha device shows up, but the irq drq are missing (this makes sense because there is no irq listed in the kernel config file). My question is this: where should I go from here? cat /dev/sndstat says that the kernel is not configured for device. Should I put the irq (which I believe is 5 -> I'll check m$dos before proceeding stupidly) in my kernel config file? Is there a program that will test for my soundcard and return it's type and irq? Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Mail OR news is fine. Thanks. Nate nvp@nfic.com
