Creative CT4500 ISA not working
 

Hello,

How can I install this sound card ?

I'm on a Debian 2.6.8.
lsmod :
snd_bt87x 13640 2
snd_pcm_oss 48168 0
snd_mixer_oss 16640 3 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 85384 2 snd_bt87x,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 23300 1 snd_pcm
snd 50660 5 snd_bt87x,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc 11144 2 snd_bt87x,snd_pcm
soundcore 9824 4 snd,bttv

I also have a booktree audio device for my PCI tv card (bt87x).

alsaconf gives me no result when it looks for ISA card.
(Compiling alsa-driver-xxxx with "--with-isapnp=yes" => no change.)
"modprobe snd-sbawe" -> system freeze !

I also tried ISAPNP :
isapnp.conf :
(CONFIGURE CTL00c5/295533692 (LD 0
# ANSI string -->Audio<--
(IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0220))
(IO 1 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0388))
(IO 2 (SIZE 2) (BASE 0x0330))
(INT 0 (IRQ 9 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 5))

(NAME "CTL00c5/295533692[0]{Audio }")
(ACT Y)
))
(CONFIGURE CTL00c5/295533692 (LD 1
(NAME "CTL00c5/295533692[1]{Game }")
#(IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x0200))
#(ACT Y)
))
(CONFIGURE CTL00c5/295533692 (LD 2
# ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
(NAME "CTL00c5/295533692[2]{WaveTable }")
(IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
(IO 1 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0A20))
(IO 2 (SIZE 2) (BASE 0x0E20))
(ACT Y)
))
(WAITFORKEY)
=> no errors at boot but system also freeze when i try modprobe...

Please help ?

have you tried dmesg?

I look for what in dmesg ?
I found this :
isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
pnp: SB audio device quirk - increasing port range
pnp: AWE32 quirk - adding two ports
isapnp: Card 'Creative SB AWE64 PnP'
isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total

What is the output of dmesg after you load the driver that causes the crash?

The system freeze so I've to reboot. There is nothing in dmesg on this issue.
If I kill gdm before I load snd-sbawe, I get :
pnp: Device 01.01.00 activated
pnp: Device 01.01.02 activated
-> system freeze.

this might be of interest to you : http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc...p?module=sbawe

There is compilling specific instructions for alsa-driver, and debian specifics as well.

If all fails, you can recompile your kernel with the driver built in if available, maybe that'll fix it...

Yep, it failed.
Even without my Tv card...
I'm not gonna waste more time on this.
Thanks for your support mimithebrain
