Dear Folks, I have beeen having a problem getting my computer to recognize my sound board. It is a SoundBlaster AWE 64 Gold. It works fine under win95. However, when I try to get FreeBSD to recognize the board it can't find it. I have tried everything including setting the parameters to those that MSW sets up in PnP mode without success. In my config file I have: # Audio drivers: `snd', `sb', `pas', `gus', `pca' # # sb: SoundBlaster PCM - SoundBlaster, SB Pro, SB16, ProAudioSpectrum # sbxvi: SoundBlaster 16 # sbmidi: SoundBlaster 16 MIDI interface # options SBC_IRQ=5 #PAS-16. Must match irq on sb0 line. # PAS16: The order of the pas0/sb0/opl0 is important since the # sb emulation is enabled in the pas-16 attach. # # The i386/isa/sound/sound.doc has more information. # Beware! The addresses specified below are also hard-coded in # i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h. If you change the values here, you # must also change the values in the include file. # # Controls all sound devices controller snd0 options SBC_BASE=0x220 options SBC_IRQ=5 options SBC_DMA=3 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 conflicts drq 3 vector sbintr # irq 5 conflicts with my mouse. I have tried 10 also which MSWindows uses. device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 7 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 options "SB16_DMA=7" ====================================================================== Here is the print from dmesg: CPU: Cyrix 6x86 (486-class CPU) Origin = "CyrixInstead" DIR=0x2231 Stepping=2 Revision=2 real memory = 33554432 (32768K bytes) avail memory = 30470144 (29756K bytes) Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=1106 device=0585 subclass=0)> rev 16 on pci0:0 chip1 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=1106 device=0586 subclass=1)> rev 2 on pci0:7:0 pci0:7:1: VIA Technologies, device=0x0571, class=storage (ide) [no driver assigned] vga0 <VGA-compatible display device> rev 48 int a irq ?? on pci0:10 Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio2 at 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 5 on isa sio2: type 16550A lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface mse0 at 0x23c irq 3 on isa fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC33100H> wd0: 3020MB (6185088 sectors), 6136 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8100/1.0g>, removable, accel, dma, iordis wcd0: 4134Kb/sec, 1024Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: door open, unlocked wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <ST3491A> wd2: 408MB (836070 sectors), 899 cyls, 15 heads, 62 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): <CD-ROM CDU611/1.0p>, removable, accel, dma, iordis wcd1: 1378Kb/sec, 256Kb cache, audio play, 16 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd1: 120mm audio disc loaded, unlocked sb0 not found at 0x220 sbxvi0 not found sbmidi0 not found at 0x330 npx0 flags 0x1 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface would appreciate any help you can give me on this subject. Is the 64 GOLD NOT supported? Or am I just missing something? If it is not supported, is there anything in the works? Thank You Very Much, James Kalmadge kalmadg@banet.net P.S. As a side issue I would like to point out: The following lines are from the LINT config file: # Beware! The addresses specified below are also hard-coded in # i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h. If you change the values here, you # must also change the values in the include file. AND . . . In the file sound_config.h: If your card has nonstandard I/O address or IRQ number, change defines for the following settings in your kernel Makefile */ These seem to be out of sync. The header file uses #ifndef to determine the need for a default definition. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
