Hi! Luigi, luigi> for sure I am not working on the effect section, I guess your best chance luigi> is to try out OSS. For the audio part, care to tell which driver did luigi> not work for you, the one in the source tree, Amancio's driver (guspnp) luigi> or mine (snd97XXXX.tgz) ? luigi> luigi> Not having the cards, we need to know: luigi> - what they are supposed to emulate; luigi> - what chipset they use; luigi> - if they are PnP, the output from pnpinfo. I happen to own a Ensoniq Soundscape VIVO 90 card.(PnP) And it is not recognised at the boot probe under FreeBSD. (2.2-stable) (With Sujal's pnp patch - this did the trick for my USR PnP modem) It is supposed to have Soundblaster Emulation. But it DOES work when I softboot to FreeBSD from DOS. So I guess it should be possible to make it work under FreeBSD under Soundblaster Emulation. (It also works with OSS -I haven't tried many applications. In any case they have only limited support for VIVO90) I haven't tried your sound driver and I intend to do it this weekend. I didn't try Amancio's driver. I will send you the pnpinfo output as soon as I get it. (One other thing : I've read that Ensoniq has been very generous in supporting Linux. They have even donated a soundscape card) Since I don't have the manual with me right now, I got the specs from Ensoniq Home Page.(http://www.ensoniq.com) ********************************************************************** Hardware: ENSONIQ Wavetable Sound Set Award Winning ENSONIQ OTTO 32, 32-bit Wavetable DSP Synthesizer Up to 32 Simultaneous Voice Polyphony 16 MIDI channels ENSONIQ 1 megabyte(compressed) Waveform ROM 16-bit Record/Playback at up to 48 kHz (mono/stereo) 16-bit A/D D/A CODEC Lowest Noise: S/N 90 db (audio through) typical Frequency response: 20Hz - 22kHz 128 General MIDI wavetable instruments, 61 drum programs, 128 MT-32 instruments Full Duplex Operation (simultaneous Record/Playback) Microsoft Direct Audio Compatible (Direct X) MIDI/Joystick Interface (IBM 15 pin "D" type) MPC 3 Compatible TAD/CDROM Connectors Supported Industry Standards - AdLib - Soundblaster Pro (2.0) - General MIDI - Windows Sound System - MT-32 - FM (software emulation) - MPC 1,2,3 100% Tested to professional standards.
