Hi everyone, I'm really desperate....would anyone please be able to help me ?

I wonder why I still can't get my sound card working under linux, I've read
the FAQ, HOWTO, but still didn't help.

I had this configuration below when I compiled kernel 2.0.29 last week :
      <*> Sound card support
      [*] Sound Blaster (SB, SBPro, SB16, clones) support
      [*] /dev/dsp and /dev/audio support
      (220) I/O base for SB Check from manual of the card
      (5) Sound Blaster IRQ Check from manual of the card
      (1) Sound Blaster DMA 0, 1 or 3
      (0) MPU401 I/O base of SB16, Jazz16 and ES1688 Check from manual of 
      (-1) SB MPU401 IRQ (Jazz16, SM Wave and ES1688) Use -1 with SB16  

My SoundCard is called "ProMultimedia REV2.0 (Opti)" (I looked it up at the 
card). Apparently, this sound card use DOS software to configure the settings 
(IRQ, DMA< BaseIO), and I've had it setup to..
  		Base IO  : 220
  		IRQ      : 5
  		Low DMA  : 1
  		High DMA : 5
  
  dmesg outputs tell me this :
  	Sound initialization started
  	<Sound Blaster Pro (3.2)> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 1,5
  	<Yamaha OPL3 FM> at 0x388
  	Sound initialization complete
  
It _looks_ fine _to me_, but then, when I tried cat-ing a sound file, nothing 
happened.

  	root :/dev 1002 # cat /tmp/ding.wav >audio
  		(sleeping for 3 secs)
  	root :/dev 1003 #
  	root :/dev 1003 # cat /tmp/chimes.wav >audio
  		(sleeping for 3 secs)
  	root :/dev 1004 #
  	root :/dev 1005 # cat /tmp/sndkit/dsp/endoftheworld >audio
  		(sleeping for 12 secs)
  	root :/dev 1006 #
  
  
another test :
  
  	root :/dev 1011 # dd bs=8k count=4 </dev/audio >/tmp/sample.au
  	dd: standard input: I/O error
  	0+0 records in
  	0+0 records out
  	root :/dev 1012 # cat /tmp/sample.au >audio
  	root :/dev 1013 # 
  
  
  
Output of /dev/sndstat :
     
     root :/dev 1005 # cat sndstat
     Sound Driver:3.5.4-960630 (Fri Feb 14 13:08:17 EST 1997 root,

     Kernel: Linux casperland 2.0.29 #1 Fri Feb 14 13:09:04 EST 1997 i586
     Config options: 0
  
     Installed drivers: 
     Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM
     Type 2: Sound Blaster
  
     Card config: 
     Sound Blaster at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1,5
     OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 drq 0
 
     Audio devices:
     0: Sound Blaster Pro (3.2)
  
     Synth devices:
     0: Yamaha OPL-3
  
     Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
  
     Timers:
     0: System clock
  
     Mixers:
     0: Sound Blaster
  
     
Am I on the right track ? what is really seem to be my problem ?
Any help would be extremely greatly appreciated... (I'm really hopeless)..
  
Thank you.
