Hmmm, I never touched the source code... the latest with working sound was
2.2.15
... well, actually I never tried the sound there... but I *think* this error
message
during bootup concerning sound came first with the new kernel (something about
dma
it said... if that helps I can look up the exact error message...).

I guess the dmasnd-v2a.patch is the file to get ? Hmmm, is there also a Binary
Version available somewhere ? I do not have the latest Kernel Source on my
machine
and would like to avoid having to download it if possible...

BTW: Note about this page: at the start there is written
"PowerMac/Amiga/Atari/etc."
There is no such thing as a PowerAtari... there is a PowerAmiga, yes... but no
PowerAtari... Atari never got rid of the 68k CPU Architecture...
(and never, never name Amiga and Atari in one sentence :) )

No clue what soundchip... it is a out-of-the-box "Blue/White" G3 Mac 1st
Revision...
no changes...
