Hi *,

I'm triyng to learn how to sing to my Compaq Deskpro linux box, and for
the moment it remains quite mute...

Here's is what I've tried so far...

- my first atempt was to install the OSS driver into my 2.0.36 kernel
(redhat 5.2 distrib). It worked pretty wel, and that gaves me some
information on the mother board integretaed card that comes with a
Compaq Deskpro. The devices.cfg OSS config file was :

--8<--
/SECUREAUDIO OFF
/IRQEXCLUDE 3 4
/DMAEXCLUDE 2
-ess1688 #Generic ESS ES1688 based soundcard
SBLAST ON P220 I7 D1
SBMPU ON P310 I9
OPL3 ON P388
--8<--

- I then tried to install ALSA .03 pre 2 driver with alsa-lib 0.3
pre2. Compiling stage and installing the driver was done without
problem.

- then I 've tried to configure the driver via /etc/conf.modules, and
tried to "run it" in the kernel.

My /etc/conf.modules file is :

-8<--
alias char-major-14 off
alias sound off
alias midi off
alias eth0 eepro100
alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-mixer
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-4 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-12 snd-pcm1-oss
options snd snd_major=14 snd_cards_limit=1
options snd-audiodrive1688 snd_index=1 snd_id="ess1688" snd_port=0x220
snd_irq=7
 snd_mpu_port=0x310 snd_mpu_irq=9 snd_dma8=1
--8<--

modprobe snd-audiodrive1688 goes well, but I can't play any audio file
(even after a alsactl soundon). Here's the output of 'aplay whistle.au'

shell$ aplay whistle.au
Aplay: version 0.0.8 by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@jcu.cz>
Playing Sparc Audio 'whistle.au' : Mu-Law, Speed 8000 Hz, Mono

Aplay command hangs forever on a call to close(/dev/snd/pcm00) - I've
done a strace to see it.

As I'm quite a newbie in using kernel modules, and specially sound
modules.... I surelly apreciate any help....

Thanx in advance !
