snd-sb16 does not detect ISA Sound Blaster 16

[Javier Jardón]

The sound card is not detected. It works with debian woody and win98

I try this:

$sudo modprobe snd-sb16 isapnp=0
FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb16
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.ko):
No such device
FATAL: Error running install command for snd_sb16

I use ubuntu hoary

Did you use ALSA or OSS under woody? Did you try specifying the configuration
of the card using parameters? irq=, io=, etc. They cannot be automatically
detected unless the card is ISAPNP.

From what I recall, the genuine SB16 is most definitely _not_ ISAPNP ... it
predates it; unless the user has one of the more recent clones, of course.

Our ISAPNP detection also leaves a lot to be desired, mjg59 and I tried to
figure out how to build an alias table for the drivers a week or two ago, and
gave up as we either ended up with 200 drivers loaded for a given PNP id or none
at all -- Ben, don't suppose you know much about this subsystem?

i use alsa in woody

I try this:

$sudo modprobe snd-sb16 port=0x220 mpu_port=0x330 irq=5 dma8=1 dma16=5 isapnp=0

Do you have anything related to snd-sb16 in any of your Debian woody
module loader configuration files (i.e., /etc/modules.conf if you are
using Linux 2.4, /etc/modprobe.d/* if you are using Linux 2.6)?

No :-(

I upgrade to breezy and the problem persist

What's the lspnp -v information?

[Javier Jardón (jjardon)]

$ sudo lspnp -v
lspnp: /proc/bus/pnp not available

[Javier Jardón (jjardon)]

I have sound now:

I added snd-sb16 to /etc/modules and make a file called snd-sb16 in /etc/modprobe.d with the
following in it:

 options snd-sb16 isapnp=0

Not a PNP card.
