Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 4.0-Stable and having some troubles with my SBLive (emu10k1) sound card. First off, uname -a FreeBSD quantum.gross.144 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Thu Jun 15 16:30:03 EDT 2000 root@quantum.gross.144:/usr/src/sys/compile/QUANTUM_new i386 I am pretty sure I've followed directions on getting this card to work. My kernel configuration file contains the necessary devices: cat /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/QUANTUM_new |grep pc device pci device ppc0 at isa? irq 7 device pcm I performed a /dev/MAKEDEV snd0 and have, among other things, the following in /dev sndstat pcaudio A cat of sndstat results in cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Jun 15 2000 16:29:16 Installed devices: pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> at io 0xb400 irq 11 (1p/0r channels duplex) I rebooted my machine after performing the MAKEDEV. Here is the appropriate info from dmesg: pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> port 0xb400-0xb41f irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x1102, dev=0x7002) at 12.1 If it makes any difference, I am running an SMP kernel on a dual PII motherboard. When I try to play a sound file, I get nothing. However, the audio software does not complain about anythnig being wrong. For instance, mpg123 doesn't produce any sound output when playing an mp3: mpg123 -v /tmp/thebends.mp3 High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2 and 3. Version 0.59r (1999/Jun/15). Written and copyrights by Michael Hipp. Uses code from various people. See 'README' for more! THIS SOFTWARE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Title : The Bends Artist: Radiohead Album : The Bends Year : 3/16 Comment: , AG# 2437A0E3 Genre : Progressive Rock Directory: /tmp/ Playing MPEG stream from thebends.mp3 ... MPEG 1.0, Layer: III, Freq: 44100, mode: Joint-Stereo, modext: 0, BPF : 417 Channels: 2, copyright: No, original: Yes, CRC: No, emphasis: 0. Bitrate: 128 Kbits/s, Extension value: 0 Audio: 1:1 conversion, rate: 44100, encoding: signed 16 bit, channels: 2 Frame# 444 [ 8959], Time: 00:11.59 [03:54.03], I also tried playing mp3's via kmp3 and xmms to no avail; neither complained about incorrect settings yet output no sound. Being relatively new to FreeBSD, I'm not sure of how sound is handled. Is there a simple way to test for proper sound setup at a more basic level than say playing an mp3? Is there any more information I should supply to help in diagnosing the problem? Thanks, Kevin Gross PS I did double-check the wiring. My sound card is correctly hooked up to my speakers and the volume dial is set appropriately.
