Guys I have a problem in configuring my Acer Labs Inc. sound card in Slackware. I select the sound card support in the menuconfig(which is together with trident and SiS) I recompile the kernel, I test the driver(it works), I add "modprobe trident" in the file rc.modules and then reboot. The system initially recognises the sound card but then gives me "Irq found 5, want 4" and "system not ready for command" and then gives a flow of errors. If anyone knows something about it please tell me

I have a home-made box with an ALi MaGik 1 chipset, Slackware 8.1, kernel 2.4.20 and works fine. Maybe you don't have enough IRQs free. Try this: in menuconfig go to Processor type and features --> and there enable [*] Local APIC support on uniprocessors [*] IO-APIC support on uniprocessors I also use kmod to load the driver automatically when needed instead of using modprobe. If you want to use this method: - Enable kmod support in the kernel - Put the following in your /etc/modules.conf file: alias sound-slot-0 trident - Remove the modprobe trident line in the rc.modules file. (not needed) If you log as user and get access permision errors to /dev/dsp simply do a chmod 666 /dev/dsp* to solve the problem. Hope this helps.
