Yamaha OPL3-Sax sound card

Yamaha OPL3-Sax sound card

[Ramon Nieto]

i have a Yamaha OPL3-SAx sound card on a toshiba satellite 2500cds. 
i instaled linux red hat 5.1 and i know this can't recognize the sound
card i tried to configure it as a sound blaster but it only play in 8
bits mode, the sound card support 16 bit mode.

So i compiled the 2.2.0 kernel with all the support for sound card as
modules. but i can't configure the sound card yet.

anybody knows what to do? what can i write in the conf.modules? how
can i use the OSS modules?


BTW the isapnptools don't recognize the sound card as a PnP card.

I use 2.0.36 kernel on my satellite 2500cds, its works fine. And i use it
too on my desktop with opl3-sax.

Don't configure it as SB, it will not working properly, but configure as
MSS/WSS will do much better.

if pnpdump don't recognize your sc, try to force it. 
boot your system in DOS and run your sc configuration, write down the io,
irq, dma, etc. and then instal the modules.

On my Tecra 8000, the manual says that it is a OPL3-SAx card, but the
sound modules that seems to power it is the MSS module.

I havent played with it too much, but I do know that the MSS module does
play 16bit sound through the card.

AFAIK, Yamaha OPL3sa emulated Windows Sound System(MSS), SoundBlaster Pro 
and MPU401.  You may enable all of'em to get sound works properly.
