From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-0.99.23smp i686) well, i have a gateway solo 2500 and the sound doesn't configure properly. it used to on the old redhats, and in other distributions i can load it as a module seperately i use the following command to load the module for other distros (like slack): modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x220 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 i used to be able to use sndconfig to set it up but it doesn't work now. I have tried modprobing that, even recompiling the kernel with different options. It has always been an opl3sa2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. simply try to configure the opl3sa2 2. try to use audio Actual Results: the gnome sound manager won't work....neither will other sound configuration devices Expected Results: sound should work
What happens if you add 'isapnp=0' to the end of the options?
good call, now, i actually don't even have the io=0x220, its io=0x370(the default in sndconfig), i just had to add isapnp=0 to the end of the options for opl3sa2 in modules.conf so here is the line options opl3sa2 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 mpu_io=0x330 io=0x370 isapnp=0
And that works fine? Good. Out of curiosity, if you don't have an options line in modules.conf, and just do 'modprobe opl3sa2 isapnp=1'; does that work?
We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release.
well, i'm not sure what i should do, b/c you have released a second beta, and it still doesn't work. heres the deal, it doesn't work in either beta when i add the isapnp=1 as far as kernel compatibility--alan has made some changes to the opl3sa2 module adding information on the isapnp issue. as far as i could tell, all it did was totally break sound support (this was in an ac patch) in wolverine i have had more trouble with sound, it doesn't add the stuff to modules.conf it used to, and so it makes it kind of a pain to get sound to run. but the same still stands true. isapnp=0 has to be appended to the options line (the same as i have above) and isapnp=1 with nothing else says "no pnp cards found" or something like that
Is this a notebook with a Neomagic chipset? This looks a lot like a duplicate of bug #27509
