Hi Chris:
If you can access the machine's BIOS when you boot it up perhaps you
can retrieve some more detailed information regarding the audio chipset
and its configuration.
For completeness sake I have to ask: how did you configure ALSA ? Did
you build and install the entire package ? Were there any problems with
it ?
Best regards,

Hi All;
I've been trying for a couple of days now to get
any sound from my laptop (rebadged Asus L7000,
Slackware 8.1, vanilla 2.4.20) and seem to be
getting nowhere fast.
I've tried OSS/Free and Alsa (0.9.0rc2 and 0.5.12a)
and can't seem to get anything working.
OSS just hangs as I modprobe the module, no log entries
or anything I can find.
isapnp.conf contains all the settings that Windows
is using and everytime I try to get it running with
modprobe snd-opl3sa2 (or snd-card-opl3sa2)
I get
"Yamaha OPL3-SA Soundcard not found or device busy"
Can anyone please help me as I'm getting to the end
of my patience!
I am a bit of a newbie so if anyone has any ideas what
I could have missed then please let me know.
