Soundblaster 16 PNP does not work

I have a Soundblaster 16 pnp in my computer.

Symptoms are: I can tell that the card is on to some extent. The mixer works ie turning up the volume all the way I can hear that sight bit of background noise through the speakers. Playing audio cds works.

But, attemtping to run phplay, phplay locks up. RealPlayer simply does nothing as well.

Per instructions on the qdn web page, I am posting the output of enu-pnpisa here:

/sbin/enum-pnpisa

I’ll also post enum-pnpbios and enum-legacy:

My bios is old enough (this is a P-166) that the PNP-OS option does not exist. The only PNP options are to assign the individual IRQs and DMAs to either PCI/ISA PNP or LEGACY.

My isa 3c509b 3com ethernet card works fine (although, like the sound card, it does not show up in the pnpbios output).

Try to switch BIOS option (to LEGACY or back) for irq5 it seems it’s your
SB16 irq.

Try to remove net card. They like to use irq5 too. Maybe you have some
hardware conflict.
If you have Win9x - check what I/O ranges and irq assigned to 3Com card and
SB.
One of my comps had hardware conflict between some ADC/DAC device and 3Com
509 card for 0x300 port and it seems that your SB uses very 0x300.

I have old ISA SB 16PnP on irq 10 and it works fine in QNX6.
bus=isapnp devid=CTL2011 ioport=0220 ioport1=0300 ioport2=0388 irq=10 dma=0
dma1=5
So try to change device settings it should work.
