I have Souncard called ViperMax produced by the long-gone company Synergy. Furthermore I am talking about a Vanilla 2.2.5 kernel in x86 Linux. The ViperMax is basically an ESS ES1688 Audiodrive and a Gravis Ultrasound Max. Unfortunately they left out the CS4231 which is the mixer, I believe. Thus my dmesg says: ---------------------------------------------- Sound initialization started at 0x220 irq 7 dma 1,5 at 0x330 irq 7 dma 0 GUS: No CS4231 ?? at 0x240 irq 5 dma 3,3 at 0x388 Sound initialization complete ------------------------------------------------------------------ First 'bug': No \n in the 'GUS: No CS4231 ??' message generated in line 3064 of drivers/sound/gus_wave.c Well, the Audiodrive is /dev/audio which works just fine. The Ultrasound is /dev/audio1 which works (it seems) but is far too silent (no volume). I dunno if the sound is correct, I have to turn up my stereo quite a bit to hear something. There might be electronic noise disturbing the signal. Real bug: I used aumix and cam to turn up the volume of the Ultrasound part. They both list it as "Line2" (for info: the Windows ESS driver's mixer calls it AuxB, controlling GUS' volume perfectly). Well, Line2 controlls the volume, but even if I turn it to the maximum, it is still not loud enough. Questions: - Does the ultrasound code work even if it doesn't find the CS4231 ? ( My impression while reading the sources was that it doesn't care after the init ) - Is the ESS mixer code to be fixed? If so, who does it? I am not quite a kernel hacker but I will do my best if someone just could tell me what to do... Or where to start. Contact me for further info or if you have something I should check for you.
