Hi!
I just installed FreeBSD 4.3 (Release-Version) and tried to get my =
soundcard (a Creative Soundblaster 32 PnP ISA-card) work by making a new =
kernel but it
ONLY PLAYS/RECORDS MONO/8-bit SOUND! :-(
As you can see in my dmesg and /dev/sndstat output below it seems to be =
recognized and initialized correctly by the kernel. I also did a
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV snd0
and 'mixer' functions correctly.
But when I try to play MP3 files or just simple wav-files, I got error =
messages. Even 'wavrec' cries: When I do:
wavrec -S -b 16 -s 44100 -t 5 test.wav
it just outputs:
Invalid argument: Setting DSP to 16 bits
Recording MONO and only 8-bit with 'wavrec' or playing MONO and only =
8-bit sound with 'wavplay' works. When I try to play/record in STEREO =
and/or 16-bit sound I just get error messages.
In my kernel configuration file I added
device pcm
and
device sbc
as told in the FreeBSD Handbook for Creative PnP ISA soundcards. I also =
tried just to add
device pcm
without 'device sbc'. The kernel recognized the card as before but with =
the same problem.
Then I tried to add
device pcm
and
device sbc0 at isa? port0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15
as the FreeBSD Handbook tells for non-PnP ISA cards. Same effect as =
before -> recognized but not functioning properly.
Please if anybody has a solution to this problem, please tell me!
