The AWE driver provides wavetable support for the the SB cards that have the EMU-8000 synth chip (SB32s, AWE32s, and AWE64s), giving you synth music in Doom, great-sounding MIDIs, MODs, 669s, S3Ms, GUS sequencer compatibility, etc. As Doug mentioned, the SB16 drivers are used for DSP support since effectively that's what's on these cards (SB16 or the compatible Vibra16 chipset). This AWE driver is port from Linux. I ported it last fall and work with the driver author to keep new versions compiling on both Linux and FreeBSD. The driver revision checked into 2.2 and 3.0-current (as well as what I re-integrated into the 3.5 PnP drivers) is the latest non-GPLed version of this driver. It works, however you'll want to drop in a later version to build your kernel since: 1) the ports I submitted last fall to use this driver strangely weren't pulled into the ports/packages trees (...no clue), and 2) the newer driver versions have some nice features you'll want (e.g. they can load soundfont SBKs & SF2 directly) Having the non-GPLed version in our source tree makes popping in a more recent version to build a kernel very trivial, which is why I merged it into the 3.5 stuff too. If you want to try the AWE driver, surf to: http://multiverse.com/~rhh/awedrv which has my links to a recent AWE driver and ports for several packages that make use of the synth on your SB32 or AWE card. It describes how to build everything, and it also links to the Linux AWE driver page where you can find more documentation. If you want to port some GUS software to work with the AWE that isn't on the web page, you'll likely only need to change refs to "(type == SAMPLE_TYPE_GUS)" to "(type = SAMPLE_TYPE_GUS) || (type == SAMPLE_TYPE_AWE32)" since the driver supports the GUS patch format as well as its own. Side note: I'd like to pull in a more recent AWE driver version into the tree for everyone, but my understanding is that since its GPLed, this prevents inclusion in our kernel source tree. If we made the sound driver an LKM, and if the driver author would agree to change to LGPL, I think that would let us. But as far as I know, right now we can't so folks have to update themselves. Hope this helps.

Based on what I've read on the FreeBSD lists about GPL (and a quick glance at the sgnu package), I'm guessing this is all code that is used to generate stand-alone executables and libraries that that the kernel doesn't build-time link with (e.g. gdb, readline, etc.). Preface: this is second-hand information. In a past list thread on GPL (earlier this year I think), it was said that GPL is written such that compile-time linking GPLed code with other code and then distributing the combo results in that "other code" being auto-GPLed; i.e. choosing to build-time link with GPL constitutes acknowledgement that the distributed code will be released GPL. This was said to prevent linking GPL stuff directly into the kernel. Apparently though, there's legal grounds for invoking LGPLed code in other code without the plague of LGPL legally spreading to it -- by dynamic linking of that code -- e.g. make the LGPL code an LKM. Take this with a grain of salt. An expert opinion is needed here. For example, some of all of the above "GPL"s might should be "LGPL"s or vice versa -- I don't know what the difference is.

To the last question, I think the #ifdefs in the sounddriver nested so that you probably have to define at least some of the SB DSP devices to get a kernel to link with AWE support. Probably just want to include them all: device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 device awe0 at isa? port 0x620 To the first question, the driver itself doesn't have PnP detection and initialization, but you can still use your card with it. You need to grab Sujal Patel's ISA PnP Tools and link those into your kernel. Once they init the card, the driver will detect and use it. Here's one URL to Sujal's package: ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/FreeBSD-ISA_PnP_June8.tar.gz I've gotten e-mail and seen list posts from several folks that have gotten their PnP SoundBlaster cards (e.g. AWE32 PnP, AWE64 PnP, and SB16 PnP) working using Sujal's kit. Note that once the experimental sound drivers Amancio and Luigi are heading-up the rework for stabilize and are checked in, PnP init for soundcards in general will probably be handled in the sound drivers themselves. For now though it's handled external to the sound drivers with the ISA PnP tools.

YES! Both xquake and xf86quake work fine with it. (YAY!) But I have a few tales to tell. :-) Firstly, my configuration: Cyrix 6x86L running at 150mh (6x86L/200+) S3 Trio64V+ (for quake, configured with a 300x200 modeline) 3.0-current (as of today) SB16 Pnp, A220 I5 D1 H7 P330 T6, aka: sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa SoundBlaster 16 4.13> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 1 sbxvi0 at ? drq 7 on isa SoundBlaster 16 4.13> dma 7 sbmidi0 at 0x300 on isa SoundBlaster MPU-401> at 0x300 opl0 at 0x388 on isa Yamaha OPL3 FM> at 0x388 Xfree86 3.3 Linux emulation compiled into the kernel (not module) First, to get the kernel compile I had to cp soundcard.h to sys/i386/include. Otherwise, compilation falls over in linux_ioctl.h which doesn't see the new sound ioctls. Now, I just changed motherboards (yet again, 5 in two weeks isn't too bad, eh?) to one that actually works reliably with a IBM/Cyrix 6x86L at this speed. Previously, I had a VXPro chipset motherboard(s) with the Award PNP BIOS extensions. I had no idea what the original SB configuration dropped out at via the BIOS, but under DOS, Linux, FreeBSD and OS/2 I had to reconfigure the thing anyway since it would not work without it at the default settings, and not having Win95 at all I didn't even know what they were, but they were NOT as above. For Linux, I used isapnptools, and for FreeBSD I used Sujal's pnp patches. Now, with this new motherboard, Sujal's pnp driver no longer worked. :-( I have no idea what it was doing, but after running it - and it seemed to work correctly by identifying the card and saying it was configured - the sb and all associated devices just "disappeared". Anyway, after figuring out with a DOS help program the default settings were actually the same as what I wanted anyway, I removed the PnP driver and suddenly the sound driver configured correctly. Go figure. I tried to investigate why this was happening (after numerous reboots and fiddling with parameters etc, dropping back to the default -current kernel to try to figure out the problem), I couldn't. Initially, I thought perhaps the system was just too fast, and some delays were required between inb() and outb() statements [well, it worked a few years ago on AT's :-)], but after making some adjustments and recompiling, still no go. Either the driver isn't doing something "right", that worked previously, or this motherboard has a problem. I don't *think* it is the latter, since the driver configures with AND without isapnptools under Linux, and works fine under DOS with and without Creative's CTCM pnp configuration tool. BTW, in spite of what the README.GUSPNP said, I did *NOT* have to define BROKENSB to get xquake/xf86quake to work. Either that, or it is already defined somewhere in the source code. :-) I didn't investiate, but I tried it first with a default compilation, and only realised later that I had forgotten to do that. xquake/xf86quake work ok, except that now (unlike before when I ran it without sound), they won't exit correctly and require a kill from another session (telnet, since c-a-Fkey don't work while quake is running). This doesn't happen under Linux, so it may be sound driver related (Linux kernel 2.0.47, if anyone is interested). Only one problem remains in playing x86quake, and this happens under Linux XFeee86 too, so it isn't related to the OS or sound drivers - the mouse keeps on creeping upwards during play. It doesn't happen in Linux squake, nor DOS quake, so that rules out mouse, hardware and serial driver problems. It seems to be XFree86 specific. Perhaps I need to reconfigure it somehow, but I'm at a loss as to exactly how. The mouse (actually, any mouse I try has the same problem) works in mousesystems mode, and I tried having XFree use moused/sysmouse and direct to port, but it makes no difference. Any fellow quake players out there who use the mouse? Sorry, but I just can't play it any other way... keyboard players suck in multiplayer quake, not being able to turn and hook (in ctf games) fast enough. :-) Also, does anyone have any idea what it would take to get svgalib ported and working under FreeBSD? Yeah, I realise the library is a real mess in many respects, but it is pretty much a standard for console-based games for i386 UNIX and clones. Having conversed with him a couple of times, I'm reasonably sure that Dive Kirsch could be convinced to compile a FreeBSD native version of squake, or even running the Linux version would be cool too. :) I gather we need a few hooks in syscons.

I have done it in the past a couple of times and flat out refused to release the code. Since xf86quake has full access to the frame buffer I don't see much of a need for svgalib. You see svgalib is mostly used to access the frame buffer. And I hope that you are enjoying xquake + sound as much as I am over here.

I think this is the way it should be, the sound driver should only be told where a card is and perform card-specific actions (which PnP configuration and initialization is not).

Runs ok in all modes up to 1024x768 too.

If the mods required to syscon are minor then I'll even have a go at convincing Soren to put 'em in. :) It can't hurt, and if the cost is small - why not?

Well, sure, but without any X overhead and memory use. Not everyone has a Pentium 120 or better with gobs of RAM. > And I hope that you are enjoying xquake + sound as much as I am > over here. Actually, I suspect that my last statement accounts for some lack of response. I'll put it this way - under Linux I run squake with ctbots - it requires a *lot* of CPU to run the bots. Even a dedicated server requires a 686 or Pentium at 150mhz or greater to run at a decent speed without "chopping". On this machine, squake under Linux works great - and handles up to 8 bots/team. This is *not* like playing normal quake, where the demands are significantly less, although nightmore difficulty level is starting to get there. Now, with xquake and even xf86quake, the X overhead is quite noticeable. The server runs more slowly - pretty much unusable for network play and almost unusable for even single play with this many bots (and it is less challenging with lesser numbers, trust me ;-)). Now, take the machine down a peg or two and the difference between running under X, even with the mapped frame buffer, and an svgalib based version will be even greater.

Amancio has sent out a couple of pieces of mail on -current about the bt848 driver being broken. I tried mine out Sunday night for the first time in a couple of months, and it didn't work. No picture, nothing. So I think something is wrong with the driver. Has anyone out there had any success with the bt848 driver and -current?

Thanks! assumming this is a standard north american purchased card, no it shouldn't. I wrote the tuner code, at the time the probe code could successfully handle the various tuners out there. evidently some things have changed internally with them which fools the probe code, others have also reported this problem. The bottom line is that the probe code needs updating for the newer tuners. I'm afraid I don't have time in the forseeable future to do it... You should be able to "hard-wire" yours to believe it has a NTSC tuner with a hack or 2 inside the probe code for now. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Aug 12 09:13:02 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id JAA01343 for multimedia-outgoing; Tue, 12 Aug 1997 09:13:02 -0700 (PDT) Received: from uhf.wdc.net (uhf.4d.net [207.137.157.140]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA01337 for ; Tue, 12 Aug 1997 09:12:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (bad@localhost) by uhf.wdc.net (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id MAA04877; Tue, 12 Aug 1997 12:15:45 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 12:15:44 -0400 (EDT) From: Bernie Doehner X-Sender: bad@uhf.wdc.net To: Kenneth Merry cc: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Just noticed this In-Reply-To: <199708121522.JAA16365@pluto.plutotech.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > > bktr0: rev 0x11 int a irq 18 on pci0.18.0 > > Hauppauge WinCast/TV, Temic PAL tuner. > > ^^^ > So I think something is wrong with the driver.

BUT: I had the same problem with the probe incorrectly detecting. It seems the addresses have changed on more recent card (mine is a few months old). Although I remmember someone (Steve Passe??) posting a diff for TUNER_OVERRIDE, I must have not put it into the driver or upgraded to a newer one and lost TUNER_OVERIDE. So, for the time being, I do the following: In /sys/pci/brooktree848.c: under i2c things, I change the order of the probed addresses, so that PHILIPS_NTSC_WADDR 0xc2 PHILIPS_NTSC_RADDR 0xc3 And under "const struct TUNER tuners[]=...." { "PHILIPS_NTSC.... Change the fourth hex number to 0xc2. After I did that, my card now happily probes as PHILIPS NTSC. Good luck.

This happened to me at first too, but I think you need to download quake106.zip (the README mentions the older quake101.zip which doesn't seem to be available anymore). In summary, here's what I did (for steps 3 and 4 I looked at the Makefile for the quakeserver port): (1) $ fetch ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/unsup/intel_linux_quake101.tgz $ fetch ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake/quake106.zip $ md5 intel_linux_quake101.tgz quake106.zip MD5 (intel_linux_quake101.tgz) = bccaf31cf8f3a81003a8b03b437af067 MD5 (quake106.zip) = 8cee4d03ee092909fdb6a4f84f0c1357 (2) $ tar xzf intel_linux_quake101.tgz xquake (3) You'll need the unzip port for this step: $ unzip quake106.zip 'resource.*' $ cat resource.dat resource.1 > resource.exe $ rm resource.dat resource.1 (4) You'll need the lha port for this step: $ lha x resource.exe id1/pak0.pak $ rm resource.exe (5) $ ./xquake Added packfile ./id1/pak0.pak (339 files) FindFile: can't find gfx/pop.lmp Playing shareware version.

Thanks very much! I downloaded i386-ELF-xquake-1.06.gz and id1.tgz from their download section, gunzip'ed and installed them, and now I can run Quake. I no longer get the message "Error: You must have the registered version to use modified games". This message must be due to the xquake executable that was part of ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/unsup/intel_linux_quake101.tgz because the id1/pak0.pak that came with id1.tgz from the threewave site was identical to the one that can be extracted from ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/ idstuff/quake/quake106.zip. I guess the problem was that the first xquake I tried was version 101 and that doesn't work with the 106 data files.

I settled on an HP SureStore 6020i. I'm noticing two problems with it. The first (rather unimportant, but I felt it might hold a clue to the other one) is that I can't seem to mount a CD-ROM: # mount -t cd9660 /dev/worm0 /cdrom0 cd9660: Input/output error I noticed Jean-Marc Zucconi's recent post to freebsd-hackers about a problem that looked similar to this, but when I tried to apply the patch he posted, it had already been applied--apparently that fix is contained in -current as of a few weeks ago? The second problem is that I can write short tracks with cd-write, but if I try to write longer ones, I invariably get an infinite stream of: /kernel: worm0: oops not queued /kernel: biodone: buffer already done and the write starts failing. This is with cd-write from the ports collection running at 1x (2x has similar problems) with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller. Testing with an audio track shows that when it does this, *some* data still reach the disk, but only a small percentage of it. The resulting CD thus "skips" because some correct data were written, then a lot of stuff got dropped on the floor, then it resumed writing with data that should have come a few seconds later. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them! Or else, failing that, a "take it back to the store and get XYZ cd burner instead; it works better" would also be helpful :> Thanks a lot, ~Ben From owner-freebsd-multimedia Wed Aug 13 06:54:56 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA18152 for multimedia-outgoing; Wed, 13 Aug 1997 06:54:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bagpuss.visint.co.uk (bagpuss.visint.co.uk [194.207.134.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA18141 for ; Wed, 13 Aug 1997 06:54:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from dylan.visint.co.uk (dylan.visint.co.uk [194.207.134.180]) by bagpuss.visint.co.uk (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA15992; Wed, 13 Aug 1997 14:54:40 +0100 (BST) Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 14:54:39 +0100 (BST) From: Stephen Roome To: Johan Larsson cc: FreeBSD Multimedia Subject: Re: Xquake!

How about: enables = pci_enable(PCI_MEM|PCI_PORT|PCI_DMA); enables = pci_disable(PCI_MEM|PCI_PORT|PCI_DMA); where the result is in fact the low order three bits from the command register after trying to set them according to the parameter ?

The Bus-Master enable bit ... It is typically set by the card BIOS, or else by the driver. The PCI bus code should **not** automatically enable this bit, since it may crash the system, depending on the state of the PCI device. > Most likely the new pci interface cleared that bit cause I have never > set it and the driver has worked in the past;additionally, the may 22 > release of current seems to work on my other PC. No, the PCI driver does NOT clear it. The previous version of the PCI code bogously set the bus-master enable bit. I'm not sure how to deal with this correctly. I do not want the drivers to fiddle with configuration space registers, unless absolutely necessary. I could provide a "pci_enable_busmaster()" function, which hides the details ... The enable bits (memory, port and bus-master) in the PCI command register are meant to isolate the device from the PCI bus, if not set. It is bad to set at least the bus-master enable before the device has been initialised. It may be too late to set the bus-master enable after the device has initialised, because it may need that feature enabled for the initialisation ... (The PCI code set the bus-master DMA enable bit whenever the driver called pci_map_mem() or pci_map_port(). But since the PCI device can only be configured *after* some port or memory window has been mapped, this was definitely too early!) I had an interesting mail exchange with Tony Overfield on that topic, and I think the -current behaviour of the PCI code (to leave the bus-master enable bit alone) is correct ... > I just supped a new kernel yesterday . > > Before this weekend I will make sure that the latest bktr driver gets > checked in. I'm sorry this caused you trouble, but the previous behaviour of the PCI code was not correct. It may cause warm boots to fail, for example. (Cold boots will generally work, since the device is expected to be in a reset state.)

I would appreciate feedback from -multimedia on how the driver works on your cards, and from -hackers about the PnP configuration stuff (both code and documentation). This new snap is smaller than the previous since I have removed all the currently unused pieces, and somewhat simplified the code. The driver is now just five C source files plus five include files. Two more files are used for PnP support. See the README file for more news on what has changed since the previous snap. I have added drivers for nas and vat working in full duplex, and a couple of utility programs. The documentation has been updated, and now includes a section on PnP stuff. I have tested the driver a lot with the CS4236, while no changes have been made to the SB version. I am currently working on the OPTI931, which seems to work in playback, but gives me some trouble in capture mode (probably some stupid mistake on my side, since I am getting too many interrupts).

I can hear the hard drive rattle, but unlike before, it does not show any more messages on the screen. And then all of a sudden hangs. Luigi, is there a way to choose between MSS or SB emulation on these Opti chipsets? I was looking at the Opti 925 spec sheet and there is even mention about SB 4.4 mode operation on the chip (Is that SB 16 emulation?) and OPL4... It would be nice if MSS (16 bit) was chosen as the default for these compatibles or have an option to set it because SB Pro is only 8 bit sound. > > This new snap is smaller than the previous since I have removed > all the currently unused pieces, and somewhat simplified the code. > The driver is now just five C source files plus five include files. > Two more files are used for PnP support.

However it is not true that the SB is 8bit; it is half duplex (or messy full-duplex, with one 8-bit chan and the other using 16-bit(.

Anyway, I was looking at the pnp code and outb means outbyte(address, value) right? The funny thing (or is true for all PNP hardware) is that a "password" needs to be written to a certain port address before permission is allowed to write to a MC register... I wonder if it is possible to hardwire the sound card settings.??? (i.e. OPL4, WSS mode, etc.) Hmmm... I wonder what's the difference between OPL3, OPL4, and OPL5. OPL5 is supported on the 931 I think. There's a megabass option too...

SB16 emulation would be good too. :-) I am not sure, but I saw some register settings for MSS/SB mode in the 925 spec, so this might be possible I think. Which mode is really better anyway? In the spec for the 925, MSS only supports IRQs 7, 9, 10, 11, so that is maybe why I was getting SB emulation in the probe with irq 5 assigned. SB emulation only supports IRQ 5, 7, and 10. I will switch it to 10 so it can go for both. > However it is not true that the SB is 8bit; it is half duplex (or messy > full-duplex, with one 8-bit chan and the other using 16-bit(. oh... didn't know that :-) > > Cheers > Luigi > -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- > Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione > email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa > tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) > fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ > _____________________________|______________________________________ > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shoppers Network (Support) AMD K5/K6s, Cyrix 6x86, Intel Pentiums/Pro Phone: (415) 759-8584 Email: howard@shoppersnet.com ==============================> WWW - http://www.shoppersnet.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From owner-freebsd-multimedia Fri Aug 15 23:49:45 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id XAA10962 for multimedia-outgoing; Fri, 15 Aug 1997 23:49:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from labinfo.iet.unipi.it (labinfo.iet.unipi.it [131.114.9.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA10957 for ; Fri, 15 Aug 1997 23:49:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (luigi@localhost) by labinfo.iet.unipi.it (8.6.5/8.6.5) id HAA08394; Sat, 16 Aug 1997 07:41:12 +0200 From: Luigi Rizzo Message-Id: <199708160541.HAA08394@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> Subject: Re: snd970814.tgz To: gurney_j@resnet.uoregon.edu Date: Sat, 16 Aug 1997 07:41:12 +0200 (MET DST) Cc: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: <19970815044528.39513@hydrogen.nike.efn.org> from "John-Mark Gurney" at Aug 15, 97 04:45:09 am X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > oh, just found one little problem... when playing 22k/16bit, (mpeg3) > and decide to change volumes, it stutters... but it doesn't do that > when playing 44k/8bit... you are right, the default bufsize (2k) is small. I am not sure if the problem occurs because the volume-changing routines keep interrupts disablef for too long, I'll check into it.

If it deals with user-oriented issues, please cc stable. - thanks!] Since people received so little warning with 2.2.2, "the stealth release", I'm now erring a bit more on the other side of caution and giving people plenty of advance warning of my intention to release FreeBSD 2.2.5 at the end of September, a realistic final cut-off date for changes being September 15th. That gives everyone just 30 days to make sure that things they care about are properly merged into the RELENG_2_2 branch. What sorts of things should and should not go into 2.2.5? Well, since the number of differences between the 3.0 and 2.2 branches currently totals some 18MB of unidiffs, it's obvious that not all of this will or should be merged from one branch into the other. Bug fixes and security enhancements top the list of things which should go from -current into -stable before the release, if they haven't been merged already. If some utility can also be upgraded to a version which has been proven to work well in -current AND imposes very little impact on the user (I.E. it's backwards-compatible and has not significantly changed its interface), it is a reasonable candidate for the 2.2 branch. As always, of course, it is the committer who is expected to use his or her best judgement when deciding whether or not the risk/benefit ratio of merging something merits such an action. Again: Starting from now, we have 30 days to get the RELENG_2_2 branch into reasonable shape and into its 15-day test cycle, after which we ship that puppy. Conventional wisdom has always considered the "dot-five" releases to be the first truly solid releases of any branch (as witnessed with 1.1.5, 2.0.5 & 2.1.5) and I'd certainly be happy to see us carry this fine tradition into the 2.2 branch. ;-) Given that releng22.freebsd.org is also up and cranking out RELENG_2_2 snapshots every day again now, we should have that additional advantage during this release cycle which we didn't have before, at least where testing the installation tools is concerned.

Got to admit that the bktr driver should be fairly easy to port;however, the sound driver is a different story since it needs more exposure. So if anyone cares to port the bktr to 2.2 thats fine and for the man page just edit the man page for the meteor driver. The latest sound driver snap is at : ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/guspnp15.tar.gz If people want want linux sound driver 3.5 compatibility then I suggest that they down load guspnp15 which works for pas16, pro - audio spectrum, gus pnp pro, gus max and sb16 . There is also an experimental driver for the sb awe . Bug reports to : multimedia@freebsd.org and please include your OS version , sound card model and the output of "cat /dev/sndstat".

I have used the linux version which so far has been okay to use however if we want the capability to use the mpeg plugin then I think is best to have a native port to use with the native port of netscape.

I think it is the card based on what Steve had told me, but I thought I would see if anyone else had any ideas before I return it for a new one (with the UPS strike and all, returning it will be a couple of weeks or a month =(.) The problem is I get only certain channels. I get channels 2-6, 14-20, and then the upper 90s, but nothing else. The ones I do get come in clear and all, but the other ones are pure snow. Does anyone have any ideas? Steve has suggested that the card is flakey, which I am beginning to believe. Here is my setup: 3.0-CURRENT from Monday, August 11 Wincast/TV Latest fxtv Also, on a separate note sound has ceased working on quake for me now. I updated my kernel this morning. Here are the errors I am seeing (and I see thousangs of these!!!) isa_dmastatus: channel 5 not active isa_dmastatus: channel 5 not active isa_dmastatus: channel 5 not active isa_dmastatus: channel 5 not active isa_dmastatus: channel 5 not active I tried a new kernel and the same hting. Sound works for a second, and then nothing. THe only thing different I have done is added a Buslogic BT-946c SCSI card. Any ideas? I will try removing the card and see if that works or not. Thanks!

Here is my setup: this doesn't sound like the flakiness I have seen, ie the bad channels would be marginal, not completely absent. and the bad ones would have sync problems. it was bad for the entire band affected, not just parts of it. the bands are: 2-6 7-13 14-95 so 7-13 missing could be bad hardware (mis-tuned band), but 21 thru 89 missing sounds like something else. I suggested you try hrc tuning, but looking at the latest source I don't see that enabled.
