Using the CS4236B sound chip (Dell OptiPlex GX1), the sound and midi examples are played correctly, but on exit the following error message is printed: cs4232: set synthio and synthirq to use the wavefront facilities uart401: Failed to allocate IRQ5 (cat /proc/interrups says: 5: 85 XT PIC Crystal audio controller ) On system restart the following error message is displayed: Loading midi module (opl3): Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.2.16/21.4/misc/opl3.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.16/21.4/misc/opl3.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.16/21.4/misc/opl3.o failed. /lib/modules/2.2.16/21.4/misc/opl3.o: insmod opl3 failed
Is it a PnP card, or does it have fixed addresses?
The card is onboard, the computer is one of the latest Dell machines (1 year old), therefore I think it definitely doesn't use fixed addresses.
What does pnpdump say?
Created attachment 2838 [details] pnpdump before sndconfig
Created attachment 2839 [details] pnpdump after sndconfig execution
Additional notes for the above attachments: this was a CD-ROM server install (with all the packages necessary for sndconfig installed afterwards). After sndconfig, the system was not restarted. Could do this if necessary.
Eek, I've been really awful about this. The odd thing is that according to those dumps, it didn't change the isapnp.conf at all. Does this persist with the current sndconfig (it hasn't changed much in this regard...)
closing, lack of response. Moreover, in current releases this is handled by the kernel PnP code.
