HELP! Sound card not working!

HELP! Sound card not working!

Post by Kenny Zhu Qil » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00



I attempted
to set up the sound card. My card is an ESS sound blastard pro compatible.
I enabled the module sb.o. However when I reboot, I got this error message
all the time:

sb: dsp reset failed.
/lib/modules/2.2.6/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

I checked the Sound howto, they said it could be because a Ftape device is
using DMA 1 but I didn't enable any Ftape devices in my kernel! Thanks for
any help!

You may have an interrupt conflict.  Use the command dmesg
to see if any interrupts have been assigned at boot.  Also,
sndconfig may produce the file /etc/isapnp.conf which will
specify resource usage for a variety of devices.  Check that
file.  Also, look at /etc/modules.conf.   Sometimes isapnp.conf
can really mess things up.  If you were not using it before,
you might rename it and then try to adjust the resource
setting in conf.modules.

You might also view existing interrupts with
more /proc/interrupts
but this doesn't necessarily show all the interrupts in use.
