Hi & HELP! I got a laptop(K6-23D 333+64Mb RAM S3 virge mg/mx) with a OPL3-SAx(yamaha 719) sound chipset. It works perfectly under win98, but i dont use 98. The problem is that sound through dsp device is clipped/disturbed by HDD+MOUSE activity in X and X-free sessions! Iam using kernel 2.2.x and compiling with modular OPL3-SAx support and initializing the card with isapnp since its a PnP chipset. I havent been able to figure out the obvious I/O conflict but iam not a HEX master so I have pasted in some of my /proc/ files from a system where i can get sound(mp3 eg) but clipping and skipping of the output then i move the mouse or there is harddisk activity( it dosent seem to be a CPU dependent prob).
please help I need sound on my mobile-LinuxBOX :)!!! /var/proc/ioports: 0000-001f : dma1 0020-003f : pic1 0040-005f : timer 0060-006f : keyboard 0080-008f : dma page reg 00a0-00bf : pic2 00c0-00df : dma2 00f0-00ff : fpu 0100-0101 : OPL3-SAx 0170-0177 : ide1 01f0-01f7 : ide0 02f8-02ff : serial(set) 0300-0301 : mpu401 0320-033f : pcnet_cs 0376-0376 : ide1 03c0-03df : vga+ 03f6-03f6 : ide0 03f8-03ff : serial(set) 0e80-0e83 : WSS config 0e84-0e87 : MS Sound System 4000-4007 : ide0 4008-400f : ide1 /var/proc/interrupts: CPU0 0: 298767 XT-PIC timer 1: 6082 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 3: 14970 XT-PIC pcnet_cs 5: 1 XT-PIC MS Sound System 9: 4 XT-PIC i82365 12: 101978 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 13: 0 XT-PIC fpu 14: 719023 XT-PIC ide0 15: 39 XT-PIC ide1 /var/proc/sound: Audio devices: 0: MS Sound System (CS4231) (DUPLEX) Synth devices: Midi devices: 0: MPU-401 0.0 Midi interface #1 Timers: 0: System clock 1: MS Sound System (CS4231) Mixers: 0: OPL3-SAx and AD1848 (through MSS) 1: MS Sound System (CS4231) /var/proc/dma: 0: MS Sound System 3: MS Sound System 4: cascade /var/proc/pci: PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 0, function 0: Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems 5597/5598 Host (rev 4).
