Sound: pnpdump and AWE64

Symptom:

You've created the file /etc/isapnp.conf using pnpdump like it is explained in the article rb_isapnp.html. You own the soundcard Creative SB AWE64 PnP. However in contrast to the example given in this article two entries are missing in the section for the logical device of the wavetable : 
(CONFIGURE CTL009d/66776 (LD 2
#     ANSI string -->WaveTable<--

# Multiple choice time, choose one only !

#     Start dependent functions: priority preferred
#       Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
#             Minimum IO base address 0x0620
#             Maximum IO base address 0x0620
#             IO base alignment 1 bytes
#             Number of IO addresses required: 4
 (IO 0 (BASE 0x0620))     

[...]

#     End dependent functions
# (ACT Y)
))
should be 
(CONFIGURE CTL009d/66776 (LD 2
# [...]
 (IO 0 (BASE 0x0620))     
 (IO 1 (BASE 0x0a20))
 (IO 2 (BASE 0x0e20))     

# [...]

#     End dependent functions
# (ACT Y)
))

Cause:

This beaviour is due to a bug of the AWE64 which doesn't return all necessary configuration parameters.

Solution:

Enter the necessary lines manually into /etc/isapnp.conf according to the above example.

We would like to thank Frank Böhm for this information !
