Sound problems...

[Corris Randall]

I have a Omnibook 5500CS with RedHad 6.0 on it and I want to be able to
play mp3's with mpg123.  

Here are what windows reports as the settings:

DMA	01	Play
DMA	00	Capture
IRQ	05

IO	4232	0534-0537
IO	OPL	0388-038B
IO	SB	0220-022F


MPU-401

IRQ	09
IO	0330-0331

Here is my conf.modules:

alias sound cs4232
pre-install	sound	insmod	sound	dmabuf=1
alias	midi	opl3
options opl3	io=0x388
opeions	cs4232	io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x0330 mpuirq=9
synthirq=-1 synthio=-1

It just doesn't do anything when I try to play something, and when I do
sndconfig, it freezes everything up...

anyone?

Those settings are very likely for PnP, so you'll probably need to
comment out the sound-related lines in /etc/conf.modules and run
sndconfig again.  (Oh yeah, do this after rmmod'ing any sound
modules).

The sndconfig utility with RH6 will run the appropriate isapnptools
programs to set all this up for you.

If this isn't your problem, then it might be worth going to
http://www.redhat.com/support/ and following the hardware links to get
the latest and greatest sndconfig utilities.

Sound problems

Hi there,

I just wanted to play a quite old game called "1869" again. The game 
works fine, but I can't hear any sound. I think it's Adlib-sound, but 
I'm not sure.
Regarding that problem I have further questions:
1. What version of dosemu should be used? At the moment, I'm using the 
latest stable version (1.0.2).
2. I tried to set up the midid-device as described in the 
sound-usage.txt.  When trying to run it as a standalone application, it 
says "Driver failed to init: <Name of the emulated card> <device>". It 
happens with all the available emulations and devices. When opening the 
program for dosemu with the command
    midid < ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi &
the output
    [3] 3082
appears. What message should occur there?
3. I read on http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/stas, that midid isn't 
required at all when using a SoundBlaster Live. As I have that card, 
could anybody explain how to use it (or show me a tutorial)?

It would be great if anybody would know some answers to the questions above.

Thanks,
Ignaz

Adlib is not implemented yet.
Expect it within a year after
my new SB code is integrated into
the distribution, which will also
take an unknown amount of time...

> 2. I tried to set up the midid-device as described in the 
midid have nothing to do with Adlib,
it is for MPU-401 midi (GM and MT-32
are supported).

See sound-usage.txt section 3.2.2.2
but it won't help you with Adlib
anyway, so...

sound problems

I installed dosemu-1.1.99.1 and tried to run starcon2
under xdosemu (with freedos), but after playing
between a 1/10 and 2 seconds of sound, the sound cuts
out and I get lots "ERROR: SB: direct write buffer
overflowed!" errors. 

I assumed I missed something in the install, so I
tried running dosamp, but it works fine. 

I noticed in one of the threads here that it might be
a problem with DIRECT_WRITE_FREQ in linux.h being too
high or too low, so I tried each of the following
values: 6000, 11025, 3000, 1500, 200, 20, 1, 22050.
But the sound would still cut out within the first
second or two.

Any idea how I can fix this?

I'm using the alsa 0.9.6 driver and /proc/asound/cards
says the following:
0 [V8235          ]: VIA8233 - VIA 8235
                     VIA 8235 at 0xd400, irq 11

Thanks, Andrew

Why not try "The Ur-Quan Masters" (from http://sc2.sourceforge.net/) 
instead?
