Hi, I was trying to get my Turtle Beach Maui Card running, but was not succesful. The Maui is a standalone wavetable isa board, that needs to be initialized with a firmware and then emulates a MPU401 interface. I got the card running in my windows 98 test and gaming system. Somebody got any hints?
What I tried until now:
Downloaded firmware: ftp://ftp.voyetra.com/pub/tbs/wavefrnt/wfsdk095.zip. In this file there seems to be the firmware file (dos/OSWF.MOT). I processed this file with the flex program given in the documentation of the OSS kernel driver by Paul Barton Davis, as I assumed the processing needed is the same. You may find this in Documentation/sound/oss/Wavefront in the kernel sources. Copied here for you convenience:
%%
^S[28].*\r$ printf ("%c%.*s", yyleng-1,yyleng-1,yytext);
<<EOF>> { fputc ('\0', stdout); return; }
\n {}
. {}
To use it, put the above in file (say, ws.l) compile it like this:
shell> flex -ows.c ws.l shell> cc -o ws ws.c
and then use it like this:
ws < my-copy-of-the-oswf.mot-file > /etc/sound/wavefront.os
Then I tried to load the module with:
modprobe snd-wavefront ics2115_port=0x330 ics2115_irq=12 ospath=/etc/wavefront.os enable=1 wf_raw=1
I'm pretty sure the port is correct and the irq is set set via the io ports as far as I know. I've checked that the irq is free. I've got no /etc/sound, so I changed the path from the instructions above. To be sure I included the further options to enable the board and force firmware loading. All other options I left out, since i assumed these to specific to Tropez cards that have additional wave outputs.
What I got in dmesg output is:
pnp: the driver 'wavefront' has been registered pnp: the driver 'wavefront' has been unregistered No WaveFront cards found or devices busy
I think that I'm not far from the solution and therefore added this instruction. I hope somebody finds the missing part. Then lets add the output of modinfo:

Update
Changed port address to eliminate chance of port conflict with other, yet unconfigured sound cards. Now the card is using port 0x260 according to http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/kb_ftp/5603004.asp Checked the reinserted card. Still the problem remains.
Thanks, Martin
