Hi,
Thanks to you who took your time to answer my previous post.
It turned out that sound was working after all, just not as I
expected. First thing that threw me off track was that /dev/sndstat
didn't respond. It has been suggested that this device is obsoleted
and I would like to know if anyone has more info on this. It works on
another 2.2.19 machine I have here but that machine has a OSS driver
(kernel, not commercial). Is that why?
Another thing that is different from my last soundcard struggle is
that cat-ing a file to /dev/dsp does not produce an awful noise. I'm
not sure which kernel I was running back then but I believe it was an
early 2.2 version. I have checked both my sound-enabled machines (both
running 2.2.19) and it doesn't work on neither one. When did this change?
Or is my memory really that bad? ;-)
TIA
/Anton
