[Alsa-user] Problems with SB AWE32

[Leonid C. <sp...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I have an old Creative SB AWE32 (CT3900) and apparently I have some
problems getting it to work. I can load the soundcard-module (snd-sbawe)
shipped with knoppix 3.4 (kernel 2.6.6) by the following command line:

modprobe snd-sbawe port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1 dma16=5 isapnp=0

However my vanilla-kernel 2.6.12.2 refuses to load the module pretending
that no device is existent:

FATAL: Error inserting snd_sbawe
(/lib/modules/2.6.12.2/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sbawe.ko): No such device
FATAL: Error running install command for snd_sbawe

I tried the same command to with a self-compiled vanilla 2.6.6 but again
I had no luck. I am running a Debian Sarge, the mainboard is an asus
P3B-F. Needless to say that I could not find any answers by googling.

Is there a trick a have to do?
