IRQ trouble with sound card

Sep 13, 2004, 8:12 PM

Post #1 of 8 (2431 views)

Hi all,

I posted this to the forums, and didn't get a reply, so I'll try here.

I'm having some issues with my sound card. Just installed alsa-driver,
-oss, and -utils for my ens1370. The install went swimmingly, but now when
I do "/etc/init.d/alsasound start", I get:

/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r9/kernel/sound/acore/seq/oss/snd-seq-oss.o:
init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

Can you move the card to another slot???

Post dmesg after moving.

When I move it up one slot, I get:

[snip]

ALSA seq_oss.c:227: can't register device seq
PCI: Enabling device 00:0a.0 (0004 -> 0005)
PCI: Assigned IRQ 15 for device 00:0a.0
ALSA ../alsa-kernel/pci/ens1370.c:1911: unable to grab IRQ 15

When I move it to the slot below the original slot, I get:

ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
ad1848: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...

and that's it. I think the slot below is bad. I remember having some
trouble with it earlier, which is why I moved the card up to the slot
where it was the first time I posted.

How do I adjust the IRQ's?

I should point out that Windows has no sound problems. So I know it's
possible for the sound to work; I just don't know how.

TIA for any help/info.

Hi!

I don't write down the exact parameters, but read the docs about the
ens1371 module in the docs section of the source. It mentions the
parameter for setting the IRQ IIRC.

Does anyone know where to find this documentation in the source?

FTR, I also tried "modinfo snd-ens1370" and couldn't find any info on IRQ.

modinfo snd-ens1370
filename: /lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r9/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1370.o
description: "Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1370"
author: "Jaroslav Kysela <perex@suse.cz>, Thomas Sailer
<sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch>"
license: "GPL"
parm: index int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Index value

parm: id string array (min = 1, max = 8), description "ID string
for Ensoniq AudioPCI soundcard."
parm: enable byte array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Enable
Ensoniq AudioPCI soundcard."

Please help! I set up this Linux box specifically for audio production,
but I've had nothing but trouble with the soundcard since the install.
TIA.

Well, you can head over to - http://www.alsa-project.org/
and find the docs.

But before you go, you might try to build the ens1371 driver and use that
with your 1371 card, if you haven't already done so.

Bob,
In my experience the IRQ message is a throw away message generated
when the Alsa driver cannot find the card that it is looking for.
Possibly this device is just not supported? In my case it's never
truly been about a bad IRQ. That's just a suggestion form the driver
as one possible cause - not a statement of fact about why it's not
working.

If the device is new then sometimes the Alsa developers need to add
a new PCI device ID, etc. to the driver to tell it to look for this
device. That has happened to me with the RME cards a number of times,
both for device ID and then also for firmware revision.

Check with the Alsa folks to seeif the device is truely supported.
If it is then see if you can find someone using the same device and
leverage what they have done to get it working.

Good luck,
Mark

Obviusly when Windows work and linux doesn't means that there is a
mistaken IRQ + DMA assignement. I think that you should firstly check
the IRQs winblo$ assigns to the Soundcard and then set it the same at
linux. there must be an easy way to set it correctly. The problem is
that the first configuration is not altered in your config files, so
the hardware changes you might made might have affected you.

First check the documentation for your Linux distribution. It may
already have Plug and Play support set up for you or it may work
slightly differently than described here. If you need to configure it
yourself,the details can be found in the man pages for the isapnp
tools

check this :
http://www.djcj.org/LAU/guide/Sound-HOWTO-4.html
http://linux-sound.org/drivers.html
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO.html

I hope I helped

PS. I should suggest to everyone attending to make a Q to the list
firstly to search a bit at google. OR in other words STFG [==search
the fucking google (c) by korkakakis ;-) ]
