[OLUG] sound

[George Neill]

If you haven't already done this ...

  'cat /dev/sndstat'
  'cat /proc/ioports'
  'cat /proc/interrupts'

Run these to make sure the device is *really* there.  If not you probably
have a problem with your isapnp.conf file.

There are very good docs on sound cards in
"/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound" if you have the kernel source
installed.

Hope this helps!
George.
