Hello! I had a working sound configuration until last weekend with Debian 2.2, Kernel 2.2.17 and Soundblaster AWE 64 Gold. Then I decided to update my system from potato-stable (about 32 packages/25 MB). Since the next reboot the module sb wants to use IRQ7 and sound isn't working anymore. This happened before after I updated my system from Debian 2.1 to Debian 2.2. I did a lot of things like disabling the BIOS support for PNP Operating Systems, building a kernel without sound, disabling isapnp, deleting modules.conf. Just like a blind chicken looking for food :-(. Somehow I managed to revive the sound. This time I updated only some packages. I didn't change the sound configuration!
base-config 0.32 -> 0.33.2 base-passwd 3.1.7 -> 3.1.10 debconf 0.2.80.16 -> 0.2.80.17 dpkg 1.6.14 -> 1.6.15 dpkg-dev 1.6.14 -> 1.6.15 make 3.78.1-8 -> 3.79.1-1.potato makedev 2.3.1-44 -> 2.3.1-46.2 modutils 2.3.11-8 -> 2.3.11-10 Additionally I updated some XFree-3.3.6 Packages. What the h... is going on. This is weird. Now I`m looking for 'professional' help Thanks in advance Berthold Cogel
