*!* [linux-audio-user] Picky Shuttle audio chipset conflictin g with other cards...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've seen that the ice1724 driver (which is based on ice1712) is unable 
to mmap on /dev/dsp.

The trick is to switch the order of your cards so that /dev/dsp is 
attached to your ac97 on-board first, instead of your ice1712. If you 
make 'alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0', you'll probably find the game will 
work happily.

later,
Steve
