by I'm currently having a problem with my Soundblaster 16 PnP where I've
used isapnp to set the card up and it works fine as far as I can tell
except for one problem--
playing 8-bit audio works perfectly, but 16-bit audio is broken.
This happens with both the sound driver in 2.0.35 and the latest
OSS/Free driver.
When I was using the 2.0.35 driver, if I tried to play a 16-bit sample,
no sound occurred and the following message appeared in
/var/log/messages--
kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
As far as I can tell, all the irqs, dma channels, and io ports are all
correctly matched up between the hardware and the software, but the
16-bit audio is still not working.
When I tried the same thing with the latest OSS/Free driver, no sound
occurred and no error message showed up in my /var/log/messages.
I've included the pertinent files.
Thanks,
-Jesse
