I'm using FREEBSD 2.2.2 RELEASE. I'm trying to get a Soundblaster Pro (8bit) soundcard working. When I cat an .au file to /dev/audio, I get bursts of sample (sounding correct), with 1 second (approx) pauses in between. The bursts of sample only last perhaps 0.2 seconds. I get this error message: Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? dmesg reports: sb0 at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 on isa sb0: (the soundcard is at factory default settings) I've tried different irq's, drq's etc. using the user config, but exactly the same thing happens. I've also tried changing the kernel to set -DDSP_BUFFSIZE=16384 (as recommended for the Pro soundcard), but to no avail. Any advice greatly appreciated. Regards, Neil. /-----------------------------------------\ | From: Neil Smith | | | \-----------------------------------------/
