Hi,
Well, I have an OPL3sa ISA PnP card in my home PC, and run RedHat6.0 with fairly
recent Enlightenment, esd and Gnome on it. And I have no problems =OZ
Have you tried running other sound applications? Don't use Gnome or esd if you
can help it - just try to play sounds from the commandline, or use a simple
sound tool. Note that playing CDs is done entirely in hardware, so that doesn't
count - you need to pump a WAV or midi file out to be sure.
If that works, then see how your esd is being started. If it *doesn't* contain
the line "-as 2" or some similar number, then kill esd and restart it with that
arguement. You could do this by modifying /usr/local/etc/esd.conf (or wherever
this file is on your system) but for the first try, run it off the commandline.
I'm not sure what you mean by "blocks" your system? Do you mean the system
freezes completely, or just that you can't play sound from any other tool?
Good luck,
