I have practically read ALL the threads concerning soundblasters problems. After 2 days of trying i am pretty much sick of it , so I hope anyone can help.
Here is what I have done so far... (I tried from cd and hd install)
I boot knoppix and the program seems to locate my soundcard and uses a driver via82xx or something like it.
Once everything loaded no sound can be heard. The info center tells me no soundcard details are available.
When I try to use the knoppix soundconfig tool (v0.57), It tells me what kind off soundcard I have (via vt8233) and then it says the card is not yet supported.
So I tried to use the ALSA driver...
This is what I have done so far
Boot knoppix alsa (cheat)
Knoppix loads
Load control centre, set driver to ALSA and eventually load rts soundsystem.
open shell and type "aumix unmute" or " aumix -v 70 -w 70 -cd 70"
This is now what the info centre tells me (Midi isn't enabled in Bios)
So as stated the midi is off in bios so theres nothing wrong with that.Code:sounddriver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.2 emulation code) Kernel: Linux Knoppix 2.4.22-xfs #1 SMP Fr Okt 3 20:36:25 CEST 2003 i686 Config options 0 Installed drivers: Via 8235 at 0xe00, irq 3 Audio devices: 0: VIA 8235 (Duplex) Synth Devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: System timer Mixers 0: Analog Devices AD1980
For the rest everything seems to be configured. Aumix is not muted, and I still don't hear any sound. Kmx player loads an mp3 and I see the bars going up and down, but don't hear sound. The kde Voice and sounds can't be heard either.
When I type dmesg I see the folowing.
There seem to be some irq problems with irq 10 , 3 and 2 (soundblaster uses 3)Code:Linux version 2.4.22-xfs (root@Knoppix) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian pre release)) #1 SMP Fr Okt 3 20:36:25 CEST 2003 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000000fffc000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000fffc000 - 000000000ffff000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000000ffff000 - 0000000010000000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 0MB HIGHMEM available. 255MB LOWMEM available.

Bios uses auto irq assigning i think. But this shouldn't be a problem, at least not in windows.
The alsa thing also reports some codec not valid errors.
Since the infocentre dat looks good I am very confused.
Btw: The sound blaster does work in windows.
And as i couldn't see any real solutions for this sound blaster on this forum i'm asking for help.[/code]
