I tried all the advices I got so far but I still get the same error with my
AWE64 sound card:
----------------------------------------
Aug 1 15:38:58 hostname kernel: Sound error: Couldn't allocate DMA buffer
----------------------------------------
I use the awedrv-0.4.2d package and kernel 2.0.35 and I insert the module
manually at boot time so it never gets removed.
The soundcard gets properly initialized with isapnp 1.15 - I also tried this
with the DOS tools provided by creative labs. The result didn't change anything.
After a while of playing the sound stops working only displaying the above error
message. A few hours later it might start working again.
I can't find any serious reason when it starts playing again. The machine never
is low on memory or something like that.
Playing CD's which gets played directly via the audio cable works fine all the
time. :-\
The /dev/sndstat shows this:

There's no other special hardware in the computer, only a scsi controller and a
graphics card. :-\
Any more thoughts?
