Hi, I finally got my SoundBlaster 16 PnP configured in FreeBSD! Thanks to everyone who helped: -Frank Pawlak -David E. Brooks Jr -pointer to Luigi Rizzo's pnp driver (reading the manpage, `man pnp', helped) -I also found `man pnpinfo' to be helpful as well -website URL (http://multiverse.com/~rhh/awedrv/awepnp-freebsd.txt) I don't recall where I found that, but I followed the directions there, and it worked flawlessly. I'd been working on this a few days already. Due to all the help I received here, I was motivated to try and get this working. I'm thankful for all the support. Hopefully, what I have accomplished can be helpful to someone else. If it minimizes the frustration of one person, I would feel my job has been done! I performed the procedure in this manner: -added these lines to kernel config: controller pnp0 controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr options SBC_IRQ=5 # probably already stated in # /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h, # but I put it here anyway device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 -Edited /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h, to ensure the settings were proper (matching what was entered in kernel config): #ifndef SBC_BASE #ifdef PC98 #define SBC_BASE 0x20d2 /* 0x20d2 is the factory default. */ #else #define SBC_BASE 0x220 /* 0x220 is the factory default. */ #endif #endif #ifndef SBC_IRQ #ifdef PC98 #define SBC_IRQ 10 /* IQR10 is not the factory default on PC9821. */ #else #define SBC_IRQ 5 /* IQR5 is the factory default. */ #endif #endif #ifndef SBC_DMA #ifdef PC98 #define SBC_DMA 3 #else #define SBC_DMA 1 #endif #endif #ifndef SB16_DMA #ifdef PC98 #define SB16_DMA 3 #else #define SB16_DMA 5 #endif #endif #ifndef SB16MIDI_BASE #ifdef PC98 #define SB16MIDI_BASE 0x80d2 #else #define SB16MIDI_BASE 0x330 #endif #endif #ifndef MPU_BASE #define MPU_BASE 0x330 #endif #ifndef MPU_IRQ #define MPU_IRQ 5 #endif -In the config'd kernel directory, make depend; make; make install When I first tried booting up, sb0 and the rest of the devices couldn't be found. I went into BIOS settings of my computer, turning off PNP OS (per something I read in an email sent by David E. Brooks Jr to the questions list.. thanks David!). Voila! I booted, and everything was detected fine. Next, I ensured I created the audio devices: -cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV snd0 -cat of /dev/sndstat: VoxWare Sound Driver:3.0-beta-950506 (Sun Feb 5 14:38:12 EST 1995 freebsd-hackers@freefall.cdrom.com) Config options: ffffffff Installed drivers: Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM Type 2: SoundBlaster Type 6: SoundBlaster16 Type 7: SB16 MIDI Card config: SoundBlaster at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 SoundBlaster16 at 0x0 irq 65535 drq 5 SB16 MIDI at 0x330 irq 65535 drq 4294967295 OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 irq 65535 drq 4294967295 Audio devices: 0: SoundBlaster 16 4.13 Synth devices: 0: Yamaha OPL-3 Midi devices: 0: SoundBlaster 16 Midi Timers: 0: System Timer Mixers: 0: SoundBlaster dmesg output: Probing for PnP devices: CSN 1 Vendor ID: CTL0028 [0x28008c0e] Serial 0x00110927 sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13> sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa sbxvi0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13> sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa <SoundBlaster MPU-401> opl0 at 0x388 on isa opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM> I've tried cd players and midi players.. those work fine. This leads me to believe that the sound support is working OK. It is great to have sound in FreeBSD! thanks, b -- b To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
