problem configuring sb16 and alsa

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all,

I have finally gotten around to configuring my sb16 card with alsa 0.9.0 beta 12 on one of my machines. The card is an isa nonpnp card. Below is my (or should I say Kirk's) sound card section from /etc/modules.conf.

# ok, my attempt at ALSA config stuff (kirk)
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-sb16
options snd-sb16 snd_index=0 snd_id="SB16" \
        snd_port=0x220 snd_irq=5 snd_dma8=1 snd_dma16=5 \
        snd_mpu_port=0x330

# OSS/Free setup
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

All the parameters like irq, i/o, dma, ETC. are correct. I know this because I ran creative's diagnose.exe from a DOS floppy, and it figured out all the settings correctly, and the tests it did on the card went fine.

When I do modprobe snd-card-0, I get the following.

/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.o: insmod snd-card-0 failed

Why is it saying there is no such device? And, before anyone asks, yes, I've run the snddevices script. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
