I have an old Compaq Armada 1700 laptop that I'm trying to set up for my kids. It has an isa pnp sound card, using the ess 1869 chip. Apparently both isapnp and acpi are slightly broken, so I've disabled acpi at kernel boot (acpi=off) and I'm using isapnp=0 when I modprobe the snd_es18xx module. I've been going round and round, trying to set it up with various combinations of dma, port, etc. I have the Compaq Setup disk, so I've confirmed that my module params match what the bios thinks the card has, but I've never been able to get so much as a peep out of the card. I tried the snd_es1688 several times as well; once I got it to play a few seconds of sound but then it started repeating the same sound endlessly. It never played again, even with the same settings. So... Is anyone familiar with this sound card? Is there anything I can provide as debugging info? The sound card doesn't show up with lspci (no surprise, it's not pci) but the card is recognized on boot and alsa loads the module automatically. Alsamixer acts normally; I can see and adjust all sorts of things. --Yan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
