Hello, for explanation: - my sb awe32 is not PnP (but other ISA cards I has try was - with same problems) - I have try to load it in /etc/rc.local or in /etc/modules, but my system has mostly died just by GDM login (by playing "welcome" sound). - I load it manually now with: ------ root@zly-hugo:/home/hugo# modprobe -v snd-sbawe isapnp=0 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb-common.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-csp.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-dsp.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/sound/drivers/opl3/snd-opl3-lib.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sbawe.ko isapnp=0 root@zly-hugo:/home/hugo# ------- The card is configured to default - correct recognized (see below) values. After that nothing is logged/dmesg-ed ---- root@zly-hugo:/home/hugo# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [rev50 ]: VIA686A - VIA 82C686A/B rev50 VIA 82C686A/B rev50 with VIA1612A at 0xac00, irq 10 1 [S16 ]: SB AWE - Sound Blaster 16 Sound Blaster 16 at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1&5 ---- !!! The system do not crash every time by first attempt to play sound. Sometimes it work OK, but then a sound is playing, and in the middle the system dies - also leds on my HD and DVD-RW are lighting ?! and I have to reset. In the system logs after reboot is nothing :( Thank You for replay(s) and sorry please my English. --kapetr ----- PŮVODNÍ ZPRÁVA ----- Od: "Nigel Sollars" <nsollars@xxxxxxxxx> Komu: alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Předmět: Re: playing sound hangs system total Datum: 24.1.2010 - 15:37:45 > On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 9:01 AM, kapetr <kapetr@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > maybe is it not just ALSA problem, maybe kernel ?! > > problem. > > > > > I would like use second sound card (for VoIP telephony). > > > I have 4 old ISA sound cards - they all WORKS in > > Windows XP without > > > problems. > > At least I have tried orig.
