Greetings, At the risk of duplicating myself, I'm going to forward a message I sent out to this list a few days ago. Somehow, I didn't properly subscribe myself, and I never saw any responses, save 1 private one. When I subscribed to the multimedia list again, Majordomo didn't tell me I was already subscribed, so... *shrug*. Anyway, following is the original message I sent out. I will follow it up with a reply to a reply I received, after this one... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 7 May 1998 18:50:32 -0700 (PDT) From: Bryce Newall <data@dreamhaven.org> To: FreeBSD Questions List <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Subject: SoundBlaster 16 question Greetings! I recently got around to adding support to my kernel for my SoundBlaster 16 card. This is one of the older cards, non-PnP, everything jumper-set. It's set on IRQ 10, DMA1, 16-bit DMA 3, address 220h... everything is the default except for the IRQ (the default is 7). The kernel recognizes it on bootup: sb0 at 0x220 irq 10 drq 1 on isa sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.5> sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa sbxvi0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.5> sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa <SoundBlaster MPU-401> opl0 at 0x388 on isa opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM> I also used the MAKEDEV script to create a devide node snd0, which in turn created /dev/audio0 (and /dev/audio as a symlink to audio0). The problem is that whenever I try to use the sound device, it tells me it's busy. Doesn't matter whether I'm a normal user, or root... the same thing happens: [2]root@ds9:/root # cat ~data/kh_theme.wav > /dev/audio /dev/audio: Device busy. Nothing is using the device; I even tried a full shut down and reboot, just to make sure. I checked around the handbook and FAQ, but couldn't find anything to help me out. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong, or if I missed something, and how I can correct it? Thanks in advance! ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.org * * WWW: http://home.dreamhaven.org/~data * * "Stop smirking, Number 1." -- J.L.
