Hi! I got an old laptop (Dell Latitude XPi P133ST, I think) the other day. I've been told that it has a ESS ES1888 sound card. In Windows it's called ess es1688 audioware or something, though, but Linux 2.2.16 recognizes it as es1888. I installed FreeBSD and recompiled the kernel with these parameters: (with some help through the handbook) device pcm device sbc0 at isa? port 0x230 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x0 I then rebooted the machine with the new kernel and the sound card was found: Strange thing is that it was identified as an es688. sbc0: <ESS 688> at port 0x230-0x235 irq 5 drq 1 on isa0 pcm0: <ESS 18xx DSP> on sbc0 Looks like it's working, right? I ran ` cd /dev ; sh MAKEDEV snd0 ` as root as well, but when I tried cat:ing a file to /dev/dsp I ran into trouble. I heard no sound, even if program execution went without errors. I then tried mpg123 (just as if it would help ;), but without any luck. The errors I received were: $ mpg123 song.mp3 ... pcm0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead ^C Then: $ mpg123 song.mp3 Can't open /dev/dsp! When I tried to run ` cat computer.au > /dev/dsp ` after that I was told that /dev/dsp was busy. Is there anyone out there who has managed to get this card up and running in FreeBSD? I'm using 4.2-RELEASE. I have no idea what's wrong, and could need a little help.
