when sndconfig reports that it is trying to play a MIDI sound to test the config, it gives the error: modprobe error the following error occurred while trying to run the modprobe program: and it's blank. it then drops down into manual config, but even then it loops and crashes at the same point. I'm using redhat 5.9 with the sndconfig package upgraded to 6.0's version (0.33-1). I am running it as root, and modprobe is in my path. my soundcard is an AWE-64 Value, which is detected properly, and I can hear Linus' voice.
What happens if you do 'modprobe awe_wave' from the command line? ------- Email Received From Adam Waite <awaite.com> 05/05/99 19:02 -------
Is there an awe_wave module anywhere under /lib/modules?
this may seem obvious but did you configure the lowlevel drivers and enable the AWE in the lowlovel drivers? Is there a /lib/modules/2.2.x/misc/awe_wave modules? I have an AWE64 and it works on my system sndconfig --noprobe
closed due to lack of input.
I have a solution to this problem. To get the midi working, read up the kernel documentation on the AWE32 sound card. It states that you need to manually edit the /etc/isapnp.conf file to add 3 io ports to the wavetable device. Once you do this everything works great.
