Friends.. I an in terrible need of help, and I know how much people hate
questions about soundcards, especially AWE64s, but you are my last
resort..
I've tried to get my AWE64 PnP card working for many days now, to no
avail.. first I tried using OSS modules as many other people suggested
when I researched old archives. Upon bootup I would get an error saying it
failed on IRQ 7 or something to this degree.. doing a cat /proc/interupts
showed me a sound blaster 16 under irq 7, not 5 like it should be..
So my next step was to try ALSA drivers.. I've successfully installed
these before when I ran slackware. I believed I followed the instructions
accurately.. anyhow, here is some info..

Playing a cd in grip works though..
Trying to play an mp3 using xmms gives me an error telling me 3 things,
the most significantly being that my sound isn't configured properly. I am
at a loss, and am uncertain how to proceed. I would very much appreciate
it if some kind soul could offer some assistance..
BTW, I'm running frozen with a fresh 2.2.14 kernel and I have sound
support configured as a module..
Thanks
