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...
OSS opl3sa2 driver is working fine.
thanx for any hints, patches, etc...

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...

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...)

Yes, this driver might be converted to pnp_device, but I don't like that
and I won't do that. I'm actually trying to make some consensus with Adam
to remove the whole broken pnpc stuff, because the current model is simply
bad and reintroduce something like enhanced pnp_device model when more pnp
devices can be probed and grabbed at once. When things are settled down,
I'll convert all ALSA drivers to new PnP interface immediately.
