Hi,
I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000, running Gentoo, kernel 2.4.25;
The Sound card seems to be an SB Pro 3.01 8 channel old card.
1)
I've tried all:
Module SB, the regular SB module in the kernel.
I needed 0x240 as I/O becouse it's what BIOS said to me, and indeed, it is the right IO.
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# modprobe sb irq=5 dma=1 io=0x240
bash-2.05b# dmesg
...
Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...
SB 3.01 detected OK (240)
<Sound Blaster Pro (8 BIT ONLY) (3.01)> at 0x240 irq 5 dma 1,5
SB DSP version is just 3.01 which means that your card is
several years old (8 bit only device) or alternatively the sound driver
is incorrectly configured.
bash-2.05b#
|
ALSA... driver configured with --with-cards=sb8 --with-sequencer=yes
And further as in the manual...
| Code: |
# modprobe snd-sb8
# modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss
|
DMESG doesn't say much, but the driver is accepted and loaded.
2)
Then using the SB module:
Xmms plays files with double speed (or faster) and there's no sound.
| Code: |
# xmms
** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT ioctl failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED ioctl failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
|
Then i use ALSA:
I have no sound and Xmms just hangs, like in pause.
Alsamixer works fine.
Aplay and mpg123 doesn't works at well.
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# aplay ~/s.wav
Playing WAVE '/root/s.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:523:(snd_pcm_hw_drain) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_DRAIN failed: Input/output error

Thanks for your support. |
