Yes I think I have the same problem with a Soundblaster 16 card. I compiled sound in the kernel (no module) and while booting I get the message "cannot allocate DMA buffer". System has an Adaptec 2940 controller. For reference I include the output of /dev/sndstat:
Sound Driver:3.7-beta4-961021 (Sun Oct 27 14:16:36 MET 1996 root, Linux ttk28 2.0.20 #2 Sat Sep 14 19:02:34 MET DST 1996 i686) Kernel: Linux ttk28 2.1.5 #5 Sun Oct 27 14:17:17 MET 1996 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM Type 26: MPU-401 (UART) Type 2: Sound Blaster Type 29: Sound Blaster PnP Type 7: SB MPU-401 Card config: Sound Blaster at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1,5 (SB MPU-401 irq 1 drq 0) OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 drq 0 Audio devices: 0: Sound Blaster 16 (4.13) Synth devices: 0: Yamaha OPL-3 Midi devices: Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: 0: Sound Blaster
and the relevant output of dmesg:
[] Memory: 63040k/65536k available (876k kernel code, 384k reserved, 1236k data) [] Sound initialization started <Sound Blaster 16 (4.13)> at 0x220 irq 7 dma 1,5 <Yamaha OPL3 FM> at 0x388 Sound initialization complete [] AHA-2940 (PCI-bus), I/O 0xd400, Mem 0xffbef000:
I think it is no conflict with my SCSI controller as suggested in the docs?!
Any help would be great
