First, grab any .au file from the net and do `cat foo.au >/dev/audio` and see if it plays. If it doesn't, make sure that in /boot/loader.conf you have a line reading: user_script="YES" also make sure you have a `controller pnp0' line in your kernel configuration... I assume it's there, but it's not in the snip you've posted. -- Oren Sarig sarig@bezeqint.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Nick Jennings <nick@namodn.com> To: <questions@freebsd.org> Cc: <robert@namodn.com> Sent: Friday, November 19, 1999 10:02 PM Subject: Problem setting up SB Awe64 > > Hello, > > I have a Sound Blaster AWE 64, trying to get it working in > FreeBSD, from what I gather in the mailing list archives and in the > FreeBSD Handbook, this is what I've done so far: > > I put the following in my custom kernel: > > # sound card setup > controller snd0 > device sb0 at isa? port0x220 irq 5 drq 1 > device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 > device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 > device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 > device awe0 at isa? port 0x620 > > > --- > From a post in the mailing list archive, I was told to do the following: > > make a file in /boot/ called kernel.conf and in it, put the following: > > pnp 1 0 os enable irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5 port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 > pnp 1 1 os disable > pnp 1 2 os enable port0 0x620 port1 0xa20 port2 0xe20 > pnp 1 3 os disable > quit > > > --- > After compiling the kernel I then did the following: > # cd /dev > # sh MAKEDEV snd0 > > > --- > And then in the /boot/loader.rc enter the following: > > load /kernel > load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf > autoboot 5 > > > --- > when I went to put that in the loader.rc, there was already some entries > in there, so I integrated the new lines so the file now looks like this: > > --- BEGIN FILE --- > > \ Loader.rc > \ > \ Includes additional commands > include /boot/loader.4th > > load /kernel > load -t userconfig_script /boot/kernel.conf > autoboot 5 > > \ Reads and processes loader.rc > start > > \ Unless set otherwise, autoboot is automatic at this point > > --- END FILE ---- > > I only mention that because it does seem to matter in what order things > are placed in that file. > > > --- > when I rebooted, everything seemed to go ok, this is the output of the > the sound related detection: > > sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa > snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16> > sbxvi0 at drq 5 on isa > snd0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16> > sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa > snd0: <SoundBlaster MPU-401> > opl0 at 0x388 on isa > snd0: <Yamaha OPL3 FM> > awe0 at 0x620 on isa > awe0: <SoundBlaster EMU8000 MIDI (RAM512k)> > > Ok, seems fine, but when I go to play something, either with waveplay or > mpg123 etc. this is the most common error: > > Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? > > that error repeats untill I cancel the attempt to play the music. > when I tried using xmms this error also came up which might give some sort > of clue: > > cmd xmms pid 296 tried to use non-present sched_getscheduler > > > --- > and thats it.
