Weeelll.... This has been an interesting exersize... Sndconfig
changed three settings on me:
irq 10 -> 5
dma 1 -> 0
mpu_io 0x330 -> 0x300
So, thinks I, I'll just change them back, one at a time, to see
which one really IS the guilty party...
I ran "sndconfig --noautoconfig" and change each parameter back
to their original values manually.
Guess what...
You guessed it! Got back to all of the original values and they
all work! Bizzare...
One final WAG (Wild Ass Guess). There was a conflict between the
original settings for the driver and what was written to the card. Sndconfig
fixed the conflict. First, it set my parameters to what they SHOULD have
been. Then they changed the parameters for the module and wrote them out
to the card. All works... All is right with the world...
Please disregard earlier remarks about what worked and what didn't.
It's obviously all MFM ( More F*$#$@ Magic).
BTW... For those who are no "into hardware" the MFM comes from
hardware signal encoding. In particular, floppies have used three different
encoding schemes (amongst others)
Code What they say What they mean
FM Frequency Modulation F*** Magic
MFM Modified FM More F*** Magic
M2FM Modified Modified FM Much More F*** Magic

Try running sndconfig and see what it does! It really may make
a difference. It did for me! I raised the confusion factor right through
the roof!
