Not quite resolved, yet. Here's my experience (in the hopes of helping Catalin gather some data, and soliciting some insight for my own situation) - pnpdump detected nothing. may I assume the card is not plug-n-play? I created a file /etc/conf.modules, following some instructions from one of the FAQ/HOW-TOs, with these lines (parameters copied from Win95 - yes the card works there): alias sound sb options -k sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0,5 alias midi opl3 options -k opl3 io=0x388 loaded the sound module by hand, now lsmod shows: # lsmod Module Pages Used by 3c589_cs 2 1 ds 2 [3c589_cs] 3 i82365 4 2 pcmcia_core 8 [3c589_cs ds i82365] 4 opl3 3 0 sb 6 0 uart401 2 [sb] 0 sound 16 [opl3 sb uart401] 0 I was able to play some mpeg sound files, though the sound was terrible. When I tried to play some sound files in another format using our own software, I get "can't open wave dev, -1" as an error message. doing an strace on it shows: open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY) = 3 ioctl(3, SOUND_PCM_WRITE_CHANNELS, 0xbfffd3e0) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT, 0xbfffd3dc) = 0 write(2, "cant open wave dev, err -1\n", 27cant open wave dev, err -1 ) = 27 Well, it seems that one of the ioctl syscall did not get the right value back. perhaps I'm missing some sound drivers? Would appreciate some insight.
