Is Compaq deskpro PIII 600mhz sound compatible with DSL 3.0.1?
Just obtained this computer and am trying to get the sound to work. It works under Win2k.
info:
ES1869 pnp audio drive (wdm)
irq5
i/o port 0x0220-0x022f
i/o port 0x0388-0x038b
i/o port 0x0330-0x0331.
Is the reading from 'device manager' in Win2k.
My PII 233mhz sound works with:
modprobe opl3 io-0x388
modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 ymode=0 isapnp=1 multiple=0.
TIA.

I have a compaq laptop with a similar sound card.  I just use the generic sound blaster modprobe:

modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0 dma16=1 mpu_io=0x300
modprobe opl3 io=0x388

Hi u2musicmike,
Tried your info. I now get xmms to play the video okay, but the audio only has clicking noises.
Any suggestions?.
Thanks.

I had a lot of trouble getting sound working on my laptop and when I got into the BIOS the sound card was disabled.  Compaq laptops have a partition on the harddrive that I had to rebuild to change the BIOS settings.  

I don't think any of this applies to a desktop so maybe changing mpu_io=0x300 to mpu_io=0x330 might help.  

You might need to start fresh and there is a command to unload the sound module so try this:

rmmod sound

or

rmmod soundcore

then

modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0 dma16=1 mpu_io=0x330
modprobe opl3 io=0x388

if it works put the modprobe lines in:

/opt/bootlocal.sh
