Folks,
    I've recently installed RH5.2, totally successfully, including sound
functionality. However, for various reasons I've just had to carry out a
complete reinstall :(

    I'm now suffering from a lack of success with the sndconfig utility. I
have an old AWE32 Value, set up at:
    IRQ    7
    DMAL   1
    DMAH   5
    MPU    330

    I emphasise, it *has* worked under RH5.2 with these settings (even last
night!) but now reports an error when attempting to play Linus' famous
'Leenix' sample...;)  The error goes something like 'Error accessing
/dev/audio'. Now, /dev/audio (as well as /dev/audio1) exists, but it beats
me what's gone wrong.

    I should point out that previously, when booting, as it flew by on the
display, that the 'sound' service was reporting that the device was busy. I
notice now that this is not the case.

    The card is perfectly functional, working just fine under NT.

    I have tried various IRQ and DMA settings, all to no avail :(

    Other potentially useful things:

    2 x Parallel Ports: lpt on one, Zip (sda4) on the other.


Any advice will be gratefully received!

TIA
