Very Computer

I have a Matsonic MS6260S motherboard that has onboard sound and I am
wondering if it is possible to access this from within linux.

It seems like the chipset is SB compatible, but I don't know how to
configure it in the kernel. There don't seem to be any jumpers to specify
IRQs, etc.

Thanks for the help.

I have exactly that board.
The Soundchip is a CMI 8330, which is mostly compatible with the
ad1848, which can emulate a SB16 :-)

First play with pnpdump and isapnp,
Configure the device with base-address 0x530 (Windows-Sound System?)
(if you have problems, then i may send you my /etc/isapnp.conf)

Then recompile the kernel/modules with PSS(AD1848)-support.
You may use SB16-support as well, but then you will
wast an interrupt for the emulation.

I also have the same board (Matsonic MS6260S).  This wasn't my first
choice but it has worked out.  I first read over the mini-HOWTO:

http://home.gelrevision.nl/~h.wolter/CMI8330_0.05.txt

several times and followed the instructions to generate the isapnp.conf
file.  My first day working on it, I didn't get it to go.  I think it
was because I was trying to enable the WSS and SB16 and didn't have
enough interrupts.  The attached is what I ended up with to get it
working.  I also used the DOS utilities to change the interrupts and I/O
base addresses on a couple of tries.

I hope it works for you.  I sure am glad I read this news-group.  I
found the information a couple of weeks after I got the board.  I am
using it to run a 400 Mhz K6-2 w/ 128Mb of ram.  Runs great.  Compiles
kernel 2.0.36 in about 3.5 minutes! (w/ RH5.2)
