Hello, I'm a Debian (and Linux) newbie with OS/2 as my other system, and have been struggling with several problems in my setup. One is the (apparently infamous) issue of getting my SB Vib. 16 PnP sound card working. After much playing about, I got the 3.8 ver. of the OSSFree drivers. Installed directly over top of the "old" (3.5) drivers. Revamped the card settings under DOS to the values given by menuconfig (irq 7, 220, 330, dma's of 1,5). Parallel port reset in BIOS to irq 5. (Gotta learn about that too, as my printer doesn't respond ... :( ) Compiled the kernel with sound incorporated (not modular).
On reboot, there is NO message about sound (the 3.5 drivers at least Tried to initialize the card!), but somewhere further down from what dmesg gives me is a line about card ID which was similar to what I saw when tinkering with isapnptools earlier in my quest. Trouble is it scrolls off screen too quickly. No sndstat exists. I have an older ISA/VLB 486 system, and am working with the 2.0.30 kernel off the 1.3 CD. Anyone have some thoughts? Should it be loaded as a module (following the driver's instructions about configuring it outside the normal kernel routines??) which I presume would then involve isapnp?? I am presuming help exists in my Sobell book about scripts and rc files so I won't press my luck on that one yet ... :) Appreciate any help!
