Sad to say, I was recently bitten by the mp3 bug and figured I'd (finally) install a sound card in my home box so I could play some music while I work. Home box is a p166, 96 meg of ram, FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE. I aquired a SoundBlaster 16 Pro PnP, made a new kernel with sb0 support, installed the card and rebooted. All appeared to be well. The kernel found the card: sb0 at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 on isa sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13> CD playthrough works just fine, no problems there. However, when I go to play an mp3, it fails miserably. The sound (if you can call it that) is choppy, at best. The kernel logs a number of these errors to /var/log/messages: Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? The mp3's in question are known good files, so that isn't the problem. I thought I might have to compile in pnp support (necessitating an upgrade to 2.2.6) on my box to make the card work, but that seems not to be the case. Perhaps I got lucky. At any rate, I'm trying to figure out what is wrong. I'm guessing it is a card config problem. Any ideas?
