Hi!!
I also have the AWE64 and finally got (most) of it to work.
sndconfig wasn't much help on my machine either but here's what I did:
- Download the latest SB AWE64 driver from http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/awedrv/
- Read the documentation - It tells almost everything you need to know
- Also, There's documentation in ./.../kernel_source_code/Documentation/sound/
- The AWE64 mini-HOWTO is also really useful
Some quick steps if you don't want to do a lot of reading...
- Get the driver
- At the very least, read the INSTALL.awe file.
- Install it. Recompile the kernel. (I compile everything as modules)
- Go to Windows and copy down all info relevant to the soundcard eg. io, irq's
- run 'pnpdump' - Edit the /etc/isapnp.conf file to suit your card. There's a
description of how to do this in the AWE64 driver documentation
- restart the machine and load the modules with all parameters ie io, irq
etc. as described in AWE64 documentation
- ...And ...as if by magic ...Your sound card works!!!!
On mine, everything except midi works ie I can play .wav and .mp3 files and all
but with midi, for some reason, even though the midi file is playing, I don't
hear any sound. If you have better results, let me know.
See ya
