Re: Sound Card Configuration Problem

["L.V.Gandhi" <lvgandhi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

pnpdump with -c option didn't work saying that lspci is not available.
Howevre with out it I triued. It worked. I got a isapnp.conf file. I ran
isapnp. I got the msg reagrding aztech card. But when i conf. for
soundblaster/ pro /16, with the IRQ, I/O and DMA I got the same previous
msg.
No solution.
