AWE64 Not working with Fedora 7

[daveandjulianne]

I am trying an old ISA Sound Blaster sound card (CT4520) with Fedora 7, but I am not having any luck. I am fairly new to Linux, but I was able to get the same card working with Fedora 5. I installed isapnptools, created an isapnp.conf file, and installed the ALSA driver to support it, but I still can't get the computer to detect it.

Here is a portion of my dmesg log where isapnp kicks in:
...
isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
pnp: SB audio device quirk - increasing port range
pnp: AWE32 quirk - adding two ports
isapnp: Card 'Creative SB AWE64 PnP'
isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total
Generic RTC Driver v1.07
...

In the isapnp.conf there is a conflict between the IRQ for the game port and the processor, but I wasn't sure if it is necessary to enable IRQ for the game port since I don't plan to use it.

ALSAMIXER returns:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

and the volume control in gnome complains that it can't find the file.


I am not sure where to go from here; hopfully somebody out there has an idea.


Thanks

I am not 100% sure what fixed it, but I think that I had the wrong driver. The card is now working after installing the alsa sb16 driver and reconfiguring it. I also had to add a call to isapnp and all the suggested alsa modprobes to my rc.local file.

On to the rest of my problems...
