Compaq deskpro with es1869.
Just noticed no sound with xmms and xmms news feed.
Can see it connecting and buffering but no sound.

Xmms plays audio cd okay.

DSL3.3 frugal lilo.
sound setup:
modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=0 mpu_io=0x330 isapnp=1 pnplegacy=1.

modprobe opl3 io=0x388

Bios setup for audio reads:220-22f 388-38b 330-331 irq5 dma1 dma0.
Any suggestions?.

Edit systemstats/dmesg:
sound: dma (output) timed-out irq/drq config error?

Try with a radio station, like live365. Is problem unique to the site?

Applies to anything other than audio cd.

Last few lines in dmesg:
soundblaster audio driver copyright...
sb 3.01 detected ok (220)
ess chip es1869 detected
sb: 1 soundblaster pnp card(s) found
ym3812 and opl-3 driver copyright...

You can check for your audio controller with "lspci." Have you tried using alsa?

Sound working correctly now.
setup=
modprobe opl3 io=0x388
modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=0 mpu_io=0x330 isapnp=1 pnplegacy=1.

For compaq deskpro PIII 600mhz ES1869.

Don't know exactly why it now works, but I started fresh with rmmod and also ran "dsl 2 toram legacy base norestore checkfs" to remove a persistent "ext2fs warning" per Roberts.

Thanks for all the help.

Looks like the same setup as before; probably several devices competing for your soundcard. I never was able to run xmms and audacity together, and occasionally have to reboot.

Maybe it's the fact that he reversed the module inserting order...
or maybe that he rmmod'ed them first.
