I got a Nec ready 9625 with a Pentium 200 Non-mmx, 96MB Ram, 6 gig WD hard drive. Windows 2000 Report my sound card as Yamaha OPL3-SAx WDM. Is there any way I can get this to work in DSL 3.2? It finds my old ati-rage card and everything else fine... just no sound. I'm a Linux newbie... thats fed up with windows.

Thanks in advance for any help.

p.s. I've read the thread on the Toshiba laptops with a similar card but I'm not sure what command or anything to use, or even if that would work in my case.

Thanks.

Try `sudo modprobe opl3sa2`

if this doesn't work, some reported that using the soundblaster driver works... try `sudo modprobe sb` (seems this works for sa3)

if both don't work, you can try using ALSA instead.

Hi Bigfoot,
My Yamaha opl3-sa2 wdm works with dsl 3.0.1 and 3.2 versions on my Compaq P3 600mhz:

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

if works enter same in bootlocal.sh

Hope this helps.

I too am a recent convert to Linux/DSL.

so I type them in on the terminal screen as root? I did this and it just went to another prompt. then i tried to play a cd and i heard nothing, but the xMMs player was playing. All I get from the speakers is a static fuzz when I move the mouse and I hear it also when the cd-rom is spinning up.... get a bit louder as the drive spins faster...

also my sound card is onboard... not an isa, eisa, or pci card.

Check the volume levels with cat /home/dsl/.umix
If the master volume is down, you can't hear anything..
Also edit the bass and discant values to 0, they being high caused fuzz on my opl3-sa2..
