AWE32 initialization wiht isapnp

AWE32 initialization wiht isapnp

[Alexis DOMJAN]

Hello,

In order to use the wavetable device of my AWE32 I was starting under
MSDOS, executing ctpnp to configure the card and then I was running
loadlin and the Wavetable was properly detected.

However I only want to use lilo, so I'm using isapnp to configure the
awe32 (audio and wavetable) and then I "modprobe" sound module. Then the
audio device (dsp, opl2/3) is correclty detected, but the AWE32 Wavetable
on port 0x620 is not detected (according to /proc/ioports).

Can someone help me please ?

Find the line in your isapnp.conf file that says:

	(IO 0 (BASE 0x0620))
	
Add right after it:

	(IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20)) (IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
	
pnpdump, for whatever reason, doesn't see all the IO ports for
the EMU chip on the AWE.

Hi!

By the way, how do I enable the midi device?
I have a SB 32 Plug & Play, and it is working fine, except for the midi.
My /dev/sndstat file is as follows:

-----Begin------

Sound Driver:3.5.4-960630
Kernel: Linux replicant.dei.uc.pt 2.0.35 #1 Thu Sep 24 21:11:57 WEST 1998 
i586
Config options: 0

Installed drivers:

Card config:

Audio devices:
0: Sound Blaster 16 (4.13)

Synth devices:
0: Yamaha OPL-3
1: AWE32-0.4.2d (RAM0k)

Midi devices:

Timers:
0: System clock

Mixers:
0: Sound Blaster
1: AWE32 Equalizer

-------End-------

I have kernel 2.0.35 compiled with midi support (as you can see).

Thanks!

Her is an excerpt of my /etc/isapnp.conf
(CONFIGURE CTL0042/83463
	(LD 3
	#     ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
		(IO 0 (BASE 0x0620))
		(IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20))
		(IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
		(ACT Y)
	)
)

But I still have the problem.

Hello,
On my 2.0.33 system the midi devices get recognized,
but no bytes are leaving the sound card via the midi bus.
I have an AWE 64 Gold here.
Does anybody know of such problems with AWE cards or has anybody midi
output
to externals synths running under Linux ?

The output of /dev/sndstat here is the following:
