opl3sa2 silence

hi

my toshiba tecra 8000 doesn't make a single beep when using the alsa opl3sa2 driver. the resources are forced by hand (since pnpc_ doesn't work here), i also tried a quick pnp (no cards) hack, the chip is detected correctly, but still doesn't make sound. the card shows up in /proc/asound/. when 'playing' sound, /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/status shows nice values. i used alsamixer to give full volume to all channels, still no results...

please try to touch the PCM volume after playing the sound again. it seems that there is a bug hidden in alsa opl3sa2 driver, occuring on some notebooks. unfortunately, i cannot debug this due to lack of hardware...

ok, i tried that. unfortunately no results. what would you like me to do? where to start debugging?

hmm, are all the mixers configured properly, i.e. volume adjusted
_and_ unmuted? you need to set up at least "Master" and "PCM"
volumes...

ciao,

jup, switching mute on/off did the trick. (and i switched to self-compiled alsa-utils since the last mail, not those binaries)
however the sound quality is miserable when PCM volume is more than 90%... but what do i care? anyway thanx for the help.

now the question: is it possible to convert the driver to normal pnp, ie. no pnp cards? (forcing the resources by hand is working but using pnp would be much nicer, and since pnpc_ doesn't work for me...)
