I've got an A-Trend "ATC-6631D Pnp 3D" sound card. This card is nothing much more than a Yamaha YMF719E-S chip. I'm using the pcm driver with FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE and there's a couple of things I've noticed that are really odd/annoying. Firstly, as I'm using 3.0-RELEASE I had to modify the code a bit to detect the card, but the changes are about identical to what's gone into -current lately so that's reassuring. (just changes to recognise the Vendor/Serial number really) (except mine has more printf junk in it, because I didn't know what I was doing!) The problems I'm getting are with the mixer settings, rplayd gives me this warning whenever I start it up : rplayd: rplay_audio_get_volume: pcm mixer device not installed The entries in /dev look like this : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Apr 8 02:07 audio -> audio1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 20 Apr 8 02:07 audio1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 4 Apr 8 02:07 dsp -> dsp1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 19 Apr 8 02:09 dsp1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 5 Apr 8 02:07 dspW -> dspW1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 21 Apr 8 02:07 dspW1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Apr 8 02:07 mixer -> mixer1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 16 Apr 8 02:07 mixer1 Which seem okay. Also, as this machine is a dual boot to Windows I can tell you that no matter what one does to the card in FreeBSD it only ever gets out about 50% the volume that the Windows driver manages on plain audio. Here's what running mixer gets me : root@snuggly# mixer Mixer synth is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 64:64 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 32:32 Mixer mic is currently set to 64:64 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mix is currently set to 0:0 Mixer igain is currently set to 37:37 root@snuggly So, the question's are ... 1) How on earth can I get the mixer to work properly ? 2) How can I get the Voxware driver to work for this chipset, I think it's probably possible, but using pnp at the same time makes it somewhat harder to get anywhere. 3) Has anyone got a similar card to use soundblaster mode at all ? 4) Anyone got a datasheet on this chipset... There's most of the other YMFXXXX chipset datasheets available here : ftp://ftp.yamahayst.com/pub/Fax_Back_Doc/Sound/ ..b ut nothing specifically for the 719, and I've got too slow a link to get the 715 sheet and see if it mentions anything at all! I'm perfectly prepared to make a lot of changes to the code if need be (well, by that, I mean I'm prepared to spend a a few hours if I knew what to do that is). Finally, here's what the card think's about itself at boot time. CSN 1 Vendor ID: YMH0800 [0x0008a865] Serial 0xffffffff Comp ID: PNPb02f [0x2fb0d041] Sound system attempting to use MSS codec. 2. again using vend_id of a865 Sound specific settings for Yamaha 3. using vend_id of a865 3. Using special Volume settings for Yamaha card. mss_attach <Likely a Yamaha SA3>1 at 0x530 irq 5 dma 1:3 flags 0x13 setting up yamaha registers set yamaha master volume to max pcm1 (CS423x/Yamaha <Likely a Yamaha SA3> sn 0xffffffff) at 0x530-0x537 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x13 on isa Thanks in advance, Steve Roome btw, I'm not subscribed to the mailing list, so please don't just reply there or I might miss something..
