Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 08:05:49 -0400 From: Ira L Cooper Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I was reading the Maestro-2e specs, and I realized that by default the chip is not in "Legacy Audio" mode. I.E. it doesn't support the soundblaster API. But there is a flag you can set to make it do so. Has someone tried enabling this (and a few other flags) in the driver, and then letting the sb driver pick up the board and do the real work? I think the neomagic driver on linux does a similar thing. Could someone give me the URL of the "mixer" driver for the maestro so I can try to patch this? The only problem is that I don't have a maestro board yet. (I'm considering a laptop with one, but I want to clear this problem up first.) Also, if your a "real" sound driver hacker, please feel free to beat me to the punch ;). If someone needs tech-docs I have the 2 and 2e tech-docs, for purposes of this, the boards are the same. :) (I can probably put them on a website if it'll help people write the driver. ;) -Ira To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
