I finally got around to working out how to use pnpdump. The results still leave me in confusion. The following is what I understand to the relevant bit.

Code: Select all

# Multiple choice time, choose one only !

#     Start dependent functions: priority preferred
#       Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
#             Minimum IO base address 0x0220
#             Maximum IO base address 0x0220
#             IO base alignment 16 bytes
#             Number of IO addresses required: 16
# (IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0220) (CHECK))
#       IRQ 5.
#             High true, edge sensitive interrupt (by default)
# (INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
#       First DMA channel 1.
#             8 bit DMA only
#             Logical device is a bus master
#             DMA may execute in count by byte mode
#             DMA may not execute in count by word mode
#             DMA channel speed type F
# (DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
#       Next DMA channel 0 or 3.
#             8 bit DMA only
#             Logical device is a bus master
#             DMA may execute in count by byte mode
#             DMA may not execute in count by word mode
#             DMA channel speed type F
# (DMA 1 (CHANNEL 0))

#       Start dependent functions: priority acceptable
#       Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
#             Minimum IO base address 0x0220
#             Maximum IO base address 0x0280
#             IO base alignment 32 bytes
#             Number of IO addresses required: 16
# (IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0220) (CHECK))
#       IRQ 5, 7, 9, 10 or 11.
#             High true, edge sensitive interrupt (by default)
# (INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
#       First DMA channel 0, 1 or 3.
#             8 bit DMA only
#             Logical device is a bus master
#             DMA may execute in count by byte mode
#             DMA may not execute in count by word mode
#             DMA channel speed type F
# (DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0))
#       Next DMA channel 0, 1 or 3.
#             8 bit DMA only
#             Logical device is a bus master
#             DMA may execute in count by byte mode
#             DMA may not execute in count by word mode
#             DMA channel speed type F
# (DMA 1 (CHANNEL 0))

#       Start dependent functions: priority functional
#       Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
#             Minimum IO base address 0x0100
#             Maximum IO base address 0x03f0
#             IO base alignment 16 bytes
#             Number of IO addresses required: 16
# (IO 0 (SIZE 16) (BASE 0x0100) (CHECK))
#       IRQ 5, 7, 9, 10 or 11.
#             High true, edge sensitive interrupt (by default)
# (INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
#       First DMA channel 0, 1 or 3.
#             8 bit DMA only
#             Logical device is a bus master
#             DMA may execute in count by byte mode
#             DMA may not execute in count by word mode
#             DMA channel speed type F
# (DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0))

#     End dependent functions
When I compare my results to the discussion I found at http://www.linux-sxs.org/upgrading/pnpdump I get nothing like it.

Two sound cards

#17 Post by Kaos' avatar »

I'm one of the previously mentioned idiots. Sorry to go off on a side track, but i spotted something here that might help me. I have two working sound cards. For good but hard to explain reasons, I want to use the second one, not the one loaded first. I can use alsa wizard to switch, but I loose the change on restart.Did I miss something obvious? If I deleted the modprobe.conf entry for one of the cards, would that cause my computer to use only the other? This isn't realy relevant, I just thought the question might be something to answer in the idiots guide to Sound cards.

PS: Charge people for the guide, you'll make tonnes of money!

Any tips for an isa card (AD1816a)that won't do isapnp but have all the settings but the newer alsa driver will not use them as it will only accept isapnp cards so gives a card not present error.. it is and the old oss driver is fine but that means going back to the 2.4.xx kernel.
