That'll build the opl3.o module. - -Then a simple 'insmod opl3 io=0x388', and you now have FM Synth. - -You can also use the SoftOSS software synthesizer instead of the builtin OPL3. -Here's how: - -Say 'y' or 'm' to "SoftOSS software wave table engine" in make config. - -If you said yes, the software synth is available once you boot your new -kernel. - -If you chose to build it as a module, just insmod the resulting softoss2.o - -Questions?
