Nevemind!



I did "sb=0x220,5,1,5" and it works now.

Hi Sumit and everyone out there who might be trying to get sound working on the 5820-- I got it working as well. Nothing special, just use the standard sb modules. Here's my lsmod output:

Module Size Used by Not tainted sb 7604 1 (autoclean) sb_lib 34318 0 (autoclean) [sb] uart401 6500 0 (autoclean) [sb_lib] sound 54740 1 (autoclean) [sb_lib uart401] soundcore 3428 4 (autoclean) [sb_lib sound]

/etc/modules.conf:

alias sound sb alias sound-slot-0 sb

Soundcard section of /etc/modules.devfs (you shouldn't need to edit this 'cos it's auto-generated at bootup):

# Soundcard alias /dev/sound sound-slot-0 alias /dev/audio /dev/sound alias /dev/mixer /dev/sound alias /dev/dsp /dev/sound alias /dev/dspW /dev/sound alias /dev/midi /dev/sound

Don't bother with the Geode-specific drivers from Nat Semi unless you want to do something special. I wasted too much time on trying to build and install them.
