(recoomendations like a GUS card, that > isn't being sold anymore, fall into the useless category). I researched things too hard and bought an AOpen AW37 not-Pro. Largely because the Crystal Semiconductor parts were highly recommended and I was impressed with the .pdf manuals at the CS site. The chip/card claims an 85 dB signal to noise ratio too. And it just doesn't work under FreeBSD. Its like the DAC is configured in the wrong mode or something. I beat on the driver a bit but never figured it out. Believe there is some initialization code that isn't being done quite the way the CS docs say. The replacement I hacked in didn't fix it either. Of course it works under NT, but that's not what I bought it for. Several months ago was walking thru a 'puter show having only seen a $2 fan worth buying when at one table I saw some cheap sound cards. $14 each. One had a chip recognizable as Yamaha 719F. That was the latest cheap chip I'd heard of on this list that worked well and reliably with Luigi's driver. So I splurged. The Windows utilities on the CDROM require a serial number to enable. No serial number on the box or card works. But the drivers worked. And it works like a charm under FreeBSD too. Certainly doesn't have the S/N ratio of the AOpen card as I have had to turn off my AR Powered Partner speakers when I'm not looking to make FreeBSD noise. Its been a long time since I've booted into NT, but I think the NT driver was doing something to mute the speakers when not in use. This weekend is another one of the travelling salesman computer "shows". I might go and buy some $5 speakers to solve my noisy sound card problem. :-) -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

To set the channel frequency set, set the Fxtv X resources: Fxtv.antennaFreqSet: nabcst Fxtv.cableFreqSet: cableirc ! Chan Freq Schemes: nabcst,cableirc, ! cablehrc,weurope,jpnbcst,xussr as desired. If none of these work for Hong Kong, then I guess no one has sat down and fiddled with the frequencies to figure them out. If you happen to do so, please do mail this to Roger or post so we can put it into the driver. Then adding support in Fxtv is a snap. By the way, in Fxtv you can tune in a frequency directly by keying in "f". You can fine tune frequency using F9 and F10. AFC (Options->AFC) may or may not be useful to you when doing this, so turn on/off as desired.

There is a patch for vic to use /dev/bktrX, just installing everything from ports should do. -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Mar 9 7:40:12 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from thelab.hub.org (nat196.27.mpoweredpc.net [142.177.196.27]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 412AC14E7E for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 07:40:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from scrappy@hub.org) Received: from localhost (scrappy@localhost) by thelab.hub.org (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id LAA98661 for ; Tue, 9 Mar 1999 11:39:49 -0400 (AST) (envelope-from scrappy@hub.org) X-Authentication-Warning: thelab.hub.org: scrappy owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 9 Mar 1999 11:39:48 -0400 (AST) From: The Hermit Hacker To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Beginners document ...

I read in /sys/i386/isa/snd/CARDS: This is a chip for ISA-PnP cards, and so should be configured using the PnP interface. For full function configure port2, irq0, drq0 and drq1 of ldn0. Wish this was a little more detailed.. like the others so that i have an actual pnp line. The above was about the AD1816(without the A).

The problem in your case shouldn't be the PnP line, though to give you something, mine is pnp 1 0 os enable port2 0x530 irq0 5 drq0 0 drq1 3 The problem probably is, that your kernel doesn't know it found a AD1816 chip, because it doesn't know the PnP id. Please try the following patch for /sys/i386/isa/snd/ad1848.c.

I have just downloaded and tried the latest ESS driver from your Web site (http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/~sanpei/), as well as upgraded from 2.2.8 to 3.1-stable; yet the problem persists. When I run "mixer", as you specified below, it shows the default settings (similar to the ones below); when I do "mixer vol 100", the volume goes up for half a second, then starts fading away, while the mixer still shows vol 100. It is possible to keep the volume level up by running the mixer program every second or so. Attached below are my kernel config file and the output of dmesg and pnpinfo. Any advice will be much appreciated.

They don't > appear to be answering. > I contacted this person and got a response from him fairly quickly, unfortunately Creative's official position at this time is that they only support the Windows MCI API for third party access to the card. Which doesn't help at all. I am currently doing research into the likelyhood of completing support for the Dxr2 card (ie. researching required information not code hacking). From what I have discovered, all the components used on the Dxr2 board have downloadable documentation except one. The ZiVA-DS DVD decoder chip, this is the brains of the board and without technical information about the chip it looks unlikely that FreeBSD support will be possible. From what I can gather, the Dxr2 board is based on the Auravision Universal DVD card, with only a couple of components differing slightly. Auravision sell a development kit to manufacturers that includes windows drivers. Unfortunately, to get the ZiVA-DS documentation and source code you still need to speak directly to C-Cube. Who only give it out at their discression. So it seems to be a well kept secret. I have tried to contact C-Cube through various channels in an attempt to obtain information about the ZiVA-DS chipset but have hit dead ends every time. Anyone inside the US is encouraged to persue this. Being in Australia has made things difficult. I have also seen a couple of reports from Linux developers that C-Cube have refused to give them programming information because it is "proprietry" and not for public distribution. I am not sure on the legalities yet, but I plan to make an attempt at trying to reverse engineer/trace parts of the Creative windows DVD player to see if it is possible to derive enough information about the ZiVA-DS decoder to proceed with the project. For the moment, reverse engineering is the only option. I don't know what the legalities are yet, but the result of such an effort would be an adhoc programming spec. Which would be used to implement a clean room device driver for FreeBSD. I know that the UK have "product compatability" related laws that make reversing legal. I am still learning a lot of new stuff as I investigate this (mostly about the internals of windows). DVD support fgor FreeBSD is a commercial sized project. Things that need to be done before DVD will happen on FreeBSD includes UDF support, CSS key negotiation support in the ATAPI CDROM driver, Dxr2 video overlay driver, Dxr2 TV/Out driver, C-Cube ZiVA-DS driver, implementation of a full DVD navigator.

I may be way off base here but I would rather see efforts focused towards products from companies that show more cooperation. If FreeBSD and Linux users find that certain brands are supported because the company was cooperative, then this is what the users will buy. If the company doesn't want to cooperate, boycott it and find one that will cooperate. I think there are enough non-windows users out there that we can take this attitude. Just my $0.02.

I agree with this point, but it would probably only influence a fraction of a percent of their total sales. And while there remains no DVD support for these platforms it doesn't effect their sales at all. I think it is also safe to assume that there are a lot of Linux and FreeBSD users who would prefer to buy the best item from a product line and get it supported than an average product that has Linux/FreeBSD support but only average performance. (I put myself in this category) I would prefer to reboot into Windoze than endure less than perfect picture quality. The creative DVD kit appears to have been the most popular and best reviewed recently. Consiquently this is the one I have. There may be others out there that are better candidates for Linux/FreeBSD support. However, unless Jordan, or someone else interested in seeing DVD support wants to donate a DVD kit that does everything in hardware (including CSS) with readily available programming specs I can't really help here. > If the company doesn't want to cooperate, boycott it and find one > that will cooperate. I think there are enough non-windows users > out there that we can take this attitude. I think the best angle is to have someone (Jordan?) approach C-Cube with a proposal for the FreeBSD team to fund and manage the development of FreeBSD support for ZiVA based DVD products. If it costs them nothing, and has the potential to make their products more appealing they may be more likely to cooperate with an organisation than an individual. Unfortunately C-Cube only make chips, it is up to the board manufactures to decide whether or not to buy them not the end user. Most PC card manufactures will be looking to compete in the windows market with anything else a bonus, so it would be a tough sell. Other companies like panasonic don't even care about windows support because they use the chips to make standalone DVD players. RedHat funded and developed X support for NeoMagic based notebooks with cooperation from whoever manufacturers the chips. So it's not like this is unexplored territory. I have seen details of linux projects for the Creative Dxr2 board and the Matrox G??. But if the board doesn't do CSS in hardware (the ZiVA based boards do) DVD support for it isn't going to happen non commercially for Linux/FreeBSD. Unless something changes you wouldn't be able to open source a CSS implementation without getting sued. Whatever happens, it's just a matter of time before enough people push in the same direction and DVD support for some hardware appears. Well... anyone still interested? :) Seeya...Q -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _____ / Quinton Dolan - q@fan.net.au __ __/ / / __/ / / Systems Administrator / __ / _/ / / Fast Access Network __/ __/ __/ ____/ / - / Gold Coast, QLD, Australia _______ / Ph: +61 7 5574 1050 \_\ SAGE-AU Member To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Mar 11 15:54: 4 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from orbit.flnet.com (orbit.flnet.com [205.240.232.32]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 19E171528A for ; Thu, 11 Mar 1999 15:53:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from henrich@orbit.flnet.com) Received: (from henrich@localhost) by orbit.flnet.com (8.8.5/8.8.4) id SAA09108; Thu, 11 Mar 1999 18:53:32 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <19990311155332.17667@orbit.flnet.com> Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 15:53:32 -0800 From: Charles Henrich To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Quicktime 3 Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89i X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 2.2-BETA_A X-PGP-Fingerprint: 1024/F7 FD C7 3A F5 6A 23 BF 76 C4 B8 C9 6E 41 A4 4F Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Has anyone seen anything that'll run QT3's on FreeBSD? -Crh Charles Henrich Manex Visual Effects henrich@flnet.com http://orbit.flnet.com/~henrich To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Mar 11 16: 4:40 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from fan.net.au (fan.net.au [203.20.92.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A03EF14A09 for ; Thu, 11 Mar 1999 16:04:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from q@fan.net.au) Received: from gromit.fan.net.au (gromit.fan.net.au [203.23.133.34]) by fan.net.au (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id KAA24783; Fri, 12 Mar 1999 10:04:05 +1000 (EST) Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 10:04:04 +1000 (EST) From: Q To: "Jordan K.

UDF has a freely available specification so it shouldn't be too difficult for someone to get functioning. I have concentrated on the Dxr2 board (because I have one), and the possibility of using it as a hardware MPEG-2 decoder which doesn't require CSS or UDF support to work. > I've also seen BETA (Linux) drivers for "the Dxr2 board", but I have > no idea how comprehensive or complete they are. Wasn't Bill Fenner > or somebody also working on such a thing for FreeBSD? I have seen the odd discussion about DVD support in the archives but I haven't actually seen anyone say they were working on it. I have spoken with Andrew Veliath (Linux driver author) and he has encountered the same problem with obtaining information about the ZiVA-DS chip. His driver currently only manipulates the video overlay hardware, the Auravision AnP-82 which has online documentation. So you can't really use it for much yet. He also has some patches for the Linux CD-ROM driver to support CSS key negotiation, although nothing uses it yet.

Possibly, but just because it's free doesn't mean they will let you do whatever you want with it. It would be logical to assume that obtaining such a license would involve NDAs and other agreements to ensure that the derived works would meet various requirements. The primary aim being to prevent unencrypted versions of the DVD-Video streams from being generated. Which means that any DVD support for FreeBSD/Linux that requires CSS be done in software would have to be distributed in linked binary form only. Going by the following statement (from the same FAQ) it could rule out source code distribution unless the recipient was also a CSS licensee. |Makers of equipment used to display DVD-Video (drives, chips, display |boards, etc.) must license CSS. There is no charge for a CSS license, but |it's currently a lengthy process, so it's recommended that interested |parties apply as soon as possible. Near the end of May 1997, CSS licenses |were finally granted for software decoding. It is interesting to note that Auravision will not sell their Universal DVD manufacturers kit to anyone who isn't both a licensee of CSS and Digital Dolby. What is interesting is that both the CSS and Dolby Digital processing are done in hardware. And the unencrypted mpeg stream can't be accessed by the board manufacturer (C-Cube call it SafeView technology or something like that). Like I said, unless something changes you probably won't be able to open source anything that does CSS in software without getting sued.

It instaled a driver for the AT1848 and Crystal 4231 chipset, so i tried to load the pcm and css devices from kernel, but it didn't find any card under the adress I gave with the userconfig's pnp : pnp 1 1 enable os irq0 11 drq0 0 drq1 1 port0 0x104 port1 0x108 port2 0x120 (for sound card) pnp 1 2 enable os irq0 10 port0 0x330 (for MPU401) These are the adress I've used to make OSS work... What can I do to get pcm, css or any kernel device working with that sound card ? Also, that soundcard have a 56K winmodem on it... It realy will not work under FreeBSD, will it ?

John Preisler's earlier recommendation of the Turtle Beach Malibu card sounded good enough so that I got one from buy.com. I'll be testing it this weekend, for any others who care, because it's very inexpensive, and would be a good choice if it works for me as well as it works for Jon. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Fri Mar 12 6: 8: 6 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from titanium.yy.ics.keio.ac.jp (titanium.yy.ics.keio.ac.jp [131.113.47.73]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B6ED314C35 for ; Fri, 12 Mar 1999 06:07:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from sanpei@sanpei.org) Received: from lavender.sanpei.org (u4157.seaple.icc.ne.jp [203.140.32.157]) by titanium.yy.ics.keio.ac.jp (8.8.8+3.0Wbeta13/3.7W) with ESMTP id XAA22886; Fri, 12 Mar 1999 23:07:11 +0900 (JST) Received: (from sanpei@localhost) by lavender.sanpei.org (8.9.2/3.7W) id XAA73433; Fri, 12 Mar 1999 23:07:20 +0900 (JST) Message-Id: <199903121407.XAA73433@lavender.sanpei.org> To: dlombardo@excite.com Cc: multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ES1868 sound (still) fades away In-Reply-To: Your message of "Wed, 10 Mar 1999 19:23:33 +0000" References: <36E6C6B5.1F3E7B1@excite.com> X-Mailer: Mew version 1.70 on Emacs 19.34.1 / Mule 2.3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 23:07:20 +0900 From: MIHIRA Sanpei Yoshiro Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org >I have just downloaded and tried the latest ESS driver from your Web >site (http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/~sanpei/), as well as upgraded from >2.2.8 to 3.1-stable; yet the problem persists.

The driver implements the basic functions defined in AC'97 specification Rev1.0. Extensions defined in spec Rev2.1 should be usable, but no tests has been done. For information on AC'97, please see: http://developer.intel.com/pc-supp/platform/ac97 The driver has been tested on AKM4540 only, because that's the only AC'97 compliant CODEC I've got :-). For other AC'97 compliant CODEC, it should work with little or no modification. If anybody writing an audio driver and/or have interest in this driver, please send me e-mail.
