Hello, I have a Sound Blaster AWE 64, trying to get it working in FreeBSD, from what I gather in the mailing list archives and in the FreeBSD Handbook, this is what I've done so far: I put the following in my custom kernel: # sound card setup controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port0x220 irq 5 drq 1 device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 device awe0 at isa? port 0x620 --- From a post in the mailing list archive, I was told to do the following: make a file in /boot/ called kernel.conf and in it, put the following: pnp 1 0 os enable irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5 port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 pnp 1 1 os disable pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20 pnp 1 3 os disable quit --- After compiling the kernel I then did the following: # cd /dev # sh MAKEDEV snd0 --- And then in the /boot/loader.rc enter the following: load /kernel load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf autoboot 5 --- when I went to put that in the loader.rc, there was already some entries in there, so I integrated the new lines so the file now looks like this: --- BEGIN FILE --- \ Loader.rc \ \ Includes additional commands include /boot/loader.4th load /kernel load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf autoboot 5 \ Reads and processes loader.rc start \ Unless set otherwise, autoboot is automatic at this point --- END FILE ---- I only mention that because it does seem to matter in what order things are placed in that file. --- when I rebooted, everything seemed to go ok, this is the output of the the sound related detection: sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16> sbxvi0 at drq 5 on isa snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16> sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa snd0: <SoundBlaster MPU-401> opl0 at 0x388 on isa snd0: <Yamaha OPL3 FM> awe0 at 0x620 on isa awe0: <SoundBlaster EMU8000 MIDI (RAM512k)> Ok, seems fine, but when I go to play something, either with waveplay or mpg123 etc. this is the most common error: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? that error repeats untill I cancel the attempt to play the music. when I tried using xmms this error also came up which might give some sort of clue: cmd xmms pid 296 tried to use non-present sched_getscheduler --- and thats it. Any ideas? Please respond directly to my email address, as I am not subscribed to the mailing list.
