Hello everyone,
Alpha SX164, CS4232 based soundcard; sound stopped working after I
took the box to the Univ. for a day to upgrade from Debian/slink to
potato. I attributed the errors to HW damage first and got another
soundcard (OPL3 SAx). While the CS4232 based card had lost interrupts
(same symptoms as missing persistent-mda-buffer), the other card
appeared to work but caused severe funnies in the SCSI system (from
bus reset to solid lock-up).
Today, I realized that there are a few warnings about pointers being
cast to integer of different size in ad1848.c and in cs4232.c, when
compiling 2.2.16. I "fixed" this by changing some variables from int
to long and now sound works just fine (using the CS4232 based card).
Someone more knowledgeable should eventually look into this since I
did not really understand the code. I think that under some
circumstances, the wrong interrupts get cleared because the cast from
pointer to int.
kind Regards,

Is a tattoo real, like a curb or a battleship? Or are we suffering in Safeway?
