I've gone to the awedrv website. I've spent close to 20hrs on #linux asking for help, getting it and trying to get the SOB working. I tried the OSS drivers with 2.0.35. I've installed 2.1.121 to try to get it working. I told it I would wish cancer on it if it didn't start to work. I contemplating sacraficing a goat... And yet still the damned thing doesn't work and so now I'm going for what is my avenue of last resort. This list. Did I miss something important? Am I just a clueless git? (DON'T answer that. :) Is reality against me? Help. My config as it stands (more or less. I'll spam with more detail if requested) In the kernel compile all options are set as module. Sound, old fm stuff (typing this from memory), oss dirvers and the lowlevel driver. pnp configured by changing the dump of pnpdump and uncommenting the right lines plus adding 2 for the wavetable stuff. isapnp is seemingly happy and gives me a single line responce with a bunch of hex numbers and so on. modprobe sound seems to work. it doesn't whine but neither does it produce any output. insmod iso406 (I think that's the right number. again, doing it from memory) barfs, pukes and generally paints the screen technicolour with error msgs about not being able to find internal labels. ie it finds it but when it tries to deal with it it cannot figure out where to point stuff. same with sb and the others (as stated in the HOWTO on AWE32 in the kernel distrib. I think. I've read so many I'm losing count). I know there's not much info here but if someone expresses interest in helping out I'll go to the hassle of getting whatever data is req when I get home tonight. Thanks muchly. -- CaT (cat@zip.net.au) URL: http://www.zip.com.au/dev/null There was farting in the air that night, It lit so bright, Fernando...
