o, I thought the epprom settings are default until the
driver kicks in...

So I set the jumpers accordingly and still no luck:
IDESEL: 1-2 (Disabled - Its the CD IDE ON\OFF)
JMPCFG: 1-2 (EPPROM ON)
JMPB0: 1-2 (22XH)
IDEIRQ: 1 (IRQ 15 - shouldn't make a different)
JX1: 2-3 (Carbon MIC - again just letting you know though it shouldn't
make a different)

This should make sense with the picture I sent earlier...
I also removed another card I had connected - ISA Modem, Just making sure
their are no conflicts...

Here's the grim results:

sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1
FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb8
(/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb8.ko): No such
device

P.S: Also an interesting note is that I now installed Win98 on top of
that Dos and it worked too -
It did also mention to use IRQ 11 so I also reserved in the bios, but
again to no avail.

Maybe I'm missing something ?

 Yes, its like you said Rene, sb8 works although the sound is distorted
and the module can't be removed...
Later I can modprobe sgalaxy too, and the sound works without a hitch.

Also since now I can compile some code - your "eeprom.c" compiles and
works - I'm available for further testing...
I also noticed that the binary you sent was 506kb while my compilation is
9kb, maybe you sent an early/later version with some additional includes
for verbose ?
I compiled it with "gcc -W -Wall -o eeprom eeprom.c" like you said (on my
xubuntu 7.04 with build-essentials deb package installed).
See attachment...

You did it Rene !!!
>sudo ./eeprom
>sudo modprobe snd-sgalaxy sbport=0x220 wssport=0x530

It's working now !!
I downloaded the binary (i didn't compile the code), chmod it, sudo it
and the sgalaxy worked !!!
the sb8 didn't work but I don't really care for that anyhow :-)

For the record, I tested it on xubuntu 7.04 with xmms.

Are you now planning to implement the code to the driver itself ?
If you want me to test anything, let me know.

i'm also considering installing slackware 11 since I need the
preformance...

THANKS !!!

Since the only successful modprobe is done with the jumper on SOFTWARE
instead of EPPROM, I'll only tested the following:

Jumper: Software:

sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1
without an error,
dmesg - gives no hint, verbose, mention...

cat /proc/asound/cards:
 0 [Pro            ]: SB Pro - Sound Blaster Pro
Sound Blaster Pro at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1

So I did the following:
cd /proc/asound/
cat *

cat: Pro: Is a directory
cat: card0: Is a directory
 0 [Pro            ]: SB Pro - Sound Blaster Pro

EPPROM ON:

OK, I formated that dos partition and simply sys a: c:,
then I installed the driver (copying them to the partition from the linux
install),
in theinstall I selected the defaults settings (220 irq5 dma1...) and
rebooted,
now in dos again I used diagnose to test the audio and hwset /mr /ms to
reset and save the epprom.

now I rebooted and loged to linux:

sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1
FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb8
(/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb8.ko): No such
device

dmesg last lines (
[  319.827327] Sound Blaster soundcard not found or device busy

-reboot-

EPPROM OFF (SOFTWARE ON):

in dos: diagnose works,
reboot and back to lin: sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1

no error, no mention in dmesg, but xmms gives the usual error...

Heres lsmod just for kicks:

So now atleast we know its not the jumpers ;-)
Is their the slight chance xmms is the problem ? gxine crushs too...
Is their something like "beep" only for the sound card ?
Maybe droping some data to /dev/### to produce a beep ?

Well, it didn't take long so here's the results :
"sudo modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1" gave no errors, and
"lsmod" later gave:

But when I try to play an ogg gxine crushes an xmms
ignores, when trying an mp3 gxine again crushes and
xmms gives the soundcard no configured error...

Just a recap: I verifyed using dos the settings
(hwset and volset - default and save), and used the bios
to set "IRQ 5" as "ISA Legacy".

I didn't use the jumper as I see no need since the epprom
already does the job.

So I'm stuck,
What do you think I should do now ?

I already installed dos + the drivers and ubuntu, So I'll try working
with that.
As far as I can tell from the win95 driver name, the "AzTech Sound Galaxy
Nova 16 Extra II-3D - using AZT-2316/R Chipset - FCC-ID:I38-MMSN846" is
full-duplex : In :
http://www.aztech.com/support_download_soundcard01.html :
2316FD95.ZIP 90,526  Windows 95 Full Duplex Audio Driver Version 4.8.0
Build 1128

I will try working with the software first, then probably either the
epprom or the jumper (since I have dos + drivers working I'm tempted to
try the epprom first ;-) )

I can't at the moment compile in that machine (My poor little xubuntu is
barely working as it is, I don't even dare installing samba let alone a
dev-env of any sorts..., maybe when I'll get everything working I'll
install slackware, I decided gentoo is not a good idea ;-) ) so I won't
be testing your drivers any time soon :-( , I do however hope you'll
submit your drivers cause a non PnP driver can't hurt and waiting for
confirms on such old hw will be point-less...

When I'll have results I'll let you know...

Also, I'm CCing the mailing list now as pair request...

Thanks Rene,

Hello alsa devs,
I have an old "AzTech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra II-3D - using AZT-2316/R
Chipset - FCC-ID:I38-MMSN846" which I know to work on windows 2000
natively and on other windows using drivers from
http://www.aztech.com/support_download_soundcard01.html, however, I was
unsuccessful in using it in linux ( I tried many dists, but my most
recent failure was with xubuntu 7.04 which have the most recent alsa).
I believe the card is unsupported in alsa and I was hoping someone might
be free to help me with this legacy card ?
Since the card is unsupported I figured this should go the devs.

* Their is this piece of code which might be relevant:
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/sound/isa/azt2320.c

 21     This driver should provide support for most Aztech AZT2320 based
cards.
 22     Several AZT2316 chips are also supported/tested, but autoprobe
doesn't
 23     work: all module option have to be set.

* I'm unsure of what it means to configure manually or how to do so...
I do however have the card working currently with windows 2000 so if its
a question of IRQ and DMA, I can find those with relative ease.

* I obviously tried modprobeing the snd-sgalaxy driver/module, with no
success - possibly related ?

Thanks
