Hello,

I just received my new Notebook, a Dell Inspiron 3500. The sound comes
from a NeoMagic 256 AV (All in One Chip). This Chip is able of

Soundblaster Emulation (only 8 Bits)
Windows SoundSystem Emulation
Addlib Emulation.

I tried long and hard, to hear something.

After some hours I was able to setup the sb8 ALSA driver, and the
OSS/Lite WSS Driver (Adlib 1848).

The OSS-Lite Driver has the problem, that supend steals him the
DMA-Channels, and after rewoking the sound comes out terrible.

I tried to use the OPL3-SA Driver from Alsa, becaues OSS Comercial says,
they use the OPL3-SA Driver for the neomagic, but "Device or resource
busy"

This was my attempt:

modprobe snd-opl3sa snd_port=0x370 snd_wss_port=0x530 snd_midi_port=-1
snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_irq=5 snd_dma1=3 snd_dma1_size=16 snd_dma2=1
snd_dma2_size=16


Has anybody alsa in usage with the NeoMagic 256AV. or is a driver in
development for NeoMagic or WSS ??

Thanks for your help....


Tschuess
