BUYER ALERT: before buying a PCI-128 remember that the ES1370 is also used on a number of no-name audio PCI cards (e.g. Shuttle HOT-255) for exactly half the price.

You can get Quake2 Linux from ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/quake2/official/old you first have to get the 3.13 full release, then the 3.19 libc5 release.

As of yet, I don't think VooDoo 2 is supported by libglide2.4. If you don't have a supported 3dfx card, you have to use the X-Windows version.

That may be, but independantly measured results show closer to 40-45 dB SNR. My ears also hear lots of hiss (I have a SB AWE64 "Value"), although it is audibly less than a 'Vibra' Soundblaster 16 (I have one of these as well). It would be very hard to get above ~96-97 dB SNR, since that is near the theoretical maximum for 16 bit audio. The Soundblaster 64 AWE probably does have ~90dB SNR at 1KHz (or whatever the industry standard for measuring is)... Most cards get noisier as the frequency goes up. They could also be measuring the output SNR instead of input SNR. -- Zach Heilig (zach@gaffaneys.com) Our one strength was that our senior officers were more flexible than theirs... How's that?

When they tested, they digitized a sample, played it back, and compared the result to the original. Any difference was taken to be noise (distortion/etc). Just about every other card reviewed (except the very cheap cards) were far better in this respect. I sure wish I could find that page again. >From my not at all scientific experiments, The AWE 64 "value" is an extremely noisy card. For example, an MP3 converted to CD audio and played directly to the sound card has significantly more hiss (it sounds about the same as a cassette tape) than burning to a CD, and playing in the CD-ROM attached to the same sound card. When playing back something digitized with the card, the hiss is more like a dull roar. -- Zach Heilig (zach@gaffaneys.com) Our one strength was that our senior officers were more flexible than theirs...

You need ports/emulators/linux_glide, ports/emulators/linux_mesa, ports/emulators_linux-libs at least 2.4 with the patched svgalib, Quake2 for Linux (3.20 is the current version) and a Quake 2 CD. To have sound, you need a card that has mmap() support under FreeBSD. The linux_glide that comes with FreeBSD installs a glide library that is Voodoo 1 only. However, you get newer shared glide libs from http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS.html. These should work, but since I can't test them and noone told me they work with Voodoo 1 and 2, I didn't change the port so far.

The AWE 64 works fine under FreeBSD. And if you grab the ports (awemidi and awesfx) from Randall Hopper's web pages, you'll be able to take full advantage of its wavetable synthesis, giving you fantastic-sounding MIDI.

I have FreeBSD 2.2.8 installed, and am using a hauppauge Win/TV card. Unfortunatly, i cant get the bktr0 driver to recognise my card. Here is a real quick summary of what would happen: despite having bktr0 in my kernel, the card would not be found. After some investigation, i discovered that the version of the bktr0 driver that ships with 2.2.8 has support for ONLY the bt848. My hauppauge card turns out to contain a bt878. the current drivers that can be found at http://gable.nrl.cs.uoregon.edu/~dwhite/ have support for the bt878 chip, and claim to be ready for both 2.2.x and 3.0 .. Because I dont want to use the still-unstable 3.0, i got the drivers, installed them in the correct places, and did a new make.. but unfortunatly this broke it.. I get the error: [snip..] ../../pci/brooktree848.c:2995: conflicting types for `bktr_mmap' ../../pci/brooktree848.c:453: previous declaration of `bktr_mmap' *** Error code 1 And it doesnt go any farther. I do not know enough C to get in there and fix the problem, as I am still a student. Can anyone tip me off to what to look for, what to comment out, or point me towards the driver code that will work in 2.2.8 ? Or would it just be too much work, when 3.0 is so close to being stable? (I dont use 3.0 so I dont know myself.) Thank you all very much. -alt -- elvis lives.

I have double checked it today (now running WinNT), and found it's on irq 5. Why it has changed I don't know. I always thought irq 5 was a more common value than irq 10. Also strange was the fact that neither Win95 nor WinNT driver allowed to change its config, but still decided to change it by itself. Copying the winnt current config (irq 5, dma 1:0) solved the problem.

Same deal on my 220CDS - if you have 3.0 on the system try 'pnpscan -v' at the loader prompt and you'll see it. I'm not sure if this allows you to configure it, or whether you have to poke it on other ways to move its IRQ around. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Wed Dec 16 05:12:18 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id FAA10877 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Wed, 16 Dec 1998 05:12:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from fleming.cs.strath.ac.uk (fleming.cs.strath.ac.uk [130.159.196.126]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id FAA10782 for ; Wed, 16 Dec 1998 05:11:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from roger@cs.strath.ac.uk) Received: from cs.strath.ac.uk (posh.dmem.strath.ac.uk [130.159.202.3]) by fleming.cs.strath.ac.uk (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA09094 Wed, 16 Dec 1998 13:10:40 GMT Message-ID: <3677B134.71109330@cs.strath.ac.uk> Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1998 13:10:12 +0000 From: Roger Hardiman Organization: Strathclyde Uni X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: alt CC: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG, jobaldwi@vt.edu Subject: Re: bt848 problem in FreeBSD 2.2.8 when using bt878 References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, > I have FreeBSD 2.2.8 installed, and am using a hauppauge Win/TV card. > Unfortunatly, i cant get the bktr0 driver to recognise my card. Ok, the bt848 driver in 2.2.8 is really really outdated now. It does not support bt878 chips and Hauppauge switched to bt878s around May 1998. Anyway, I've updated my FTP/WEB Site with a 2.2.8 friendly version of the driver. Have a look at http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/bt848 It has links into my FTP site for the 2.2.8 friendly driver and also the 2.2.5/2.2.6/2.2.7 driver. Many thanks to John Baldwin who first pointed out the patch required for 2.2.8.

Hmm, the /sys dir is usually a symbolic link to the /usr/src/sys dir, if you don't have either of these directories on your filesystem then it means you do not have the source installed.. you can do it with sysinstall I believe, and it's also rather easy to install the package from cd ( find the dir and ./install.sh ) -rob ( www.namodn.com ) ( robert@namodn.com ) > > Thank you > Ron > rbreault@mindspring.com > > ____________________________________________________________________ > More than just email--Get your FREE Netscape WebMail account today at http://home.netscape.com/netcenter/mail > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Dec 17 06:47:03 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA04255 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Thu, 17 Dec 1998 06:47:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cosmos.it (users.cosmos.it [193.70.6.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA04027 for ; Thu, 17 Dec 1998 06:44:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from paoletti@cosmos.it) Received: from cosmos.it (ppp-05.cosmos.it [193.70.6.70]) by cosmos.it (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA25603 for ; Thu, 17 Dec 1998 15:35:07 +0100 Message-ID: <367918C6.B7F65724@cosmos.it> Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1998 15:44:22 +0100 From: Tiziano Paoletti Organization: Cosmos Network X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: I have a problem...can you help me?

I have a problem installing the AWE driver.

The awe0 device requires not one, but *three* ports to be initialized for it to function. During your boot-time config, you need to do: pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20 (assuming your AWE32 is the first PnP device in your system). This has tripped up many people trying to configure this device, myself included. :-) -- Conrad Sabatier HOW YOU CAN TELL THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A ROTTEN DAY: #15 Your pet rock snaps at you.

I will admit to being stumped by this one. :-) Very curious to know what, if anything, you're able to find out about it. Keep us posted. By the way, you may want to subscribe to the linux-awe list and ask there. If it's not a hardware or FreeBSD-specific problem, then it may actually be a bug in the driver, and who better to discuss it with than the developers? :-) See http://www.nsdev.org/mailing-lists.shtml -- Conrad Sabatier "Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain." -- Lily Tomlin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
