Anyway, I used this software in place of what came on the FreeBSD 2.2.2 CD ie, /sys/i386/isa/sound. Still no luck. In fact, this driver is worse. Following is what I did/discovered: I have a Soundblaster 16 PnP board configured thusly: Audio interface base I/O address = 0x220 Audio interface IRQ = 9 Low DMA channel = 1 High DMA channel = 5 MPU-401 UART interface base I/O = 0x330 NOTE: IRQ was changed to 9 from 5 because I have a Logitech bus mouse using IRQ 5 My Freebsd 2.2.2 machine has a 50MB DOS 6.2 partition with windows 3.11. Using 'booteasy', I booted to DOS so that I could use the manufacturer's software to configure the Sound Blaster card to the above settings. I ran the manufactures test software and all the above settings passed with no conflicts. Next I re-booted back to FreeBSD Unix and configured a kernel using: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 9 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvio at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 After compiling the kernel, I tested the sound card using a wave file with splay and got the following error: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? At this point, I noticed that my bus mouse, IRQ 5, ceased to function. I then re-built the kernel using: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 9 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvio at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 options SBC_IRQ=9 and had the same results, my bus mouse ceased to function again as well. After deleting this driver from the kernel, the system is back to normal with a functioning mouse but no sound card. I examined /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h and noticed significant changes from the original. It looks like you can no-longer #define SBC_IRQ, or SBC_DMA. Have you any more suggestions. regards John Rushford wjjr@sapphire.alisa.org
