Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-sound@vger.kernel.org Hi all, I have a Aztech 16-bit sound card which reports to be SB16 compatible. (In DOS that is, all games etc. use the SB 16 settings after the Aztech sound driver is loaded.). I have a Redhat 5.0 with kernel 2.0.32, and i tried using sndconfig. The card is not detected at io=0x220 (irq test fails at all irqs). Then I came to know of LOADliN , i boot into dos, initialize the sound driver, use loadlin to go into linux. and voila, sndconfig does report my sound card and also plays the sample file correctly. Now my problem is that my sound card is *probably* working in 8-bit mode. (the ioctl SNDCTL_DSPP_SAMPLESIZE returns the value 8 in the argument size, always). I also tried using a software like vplay (distributed inside sndkit, by Hannu Salovien) but it says the following: Unable to set 16-bit sample size, playing 8-bit. If my card is detected correctly as SB16, then why does it play only 8-bit?? Any Clues???
