Hi,
This is my absolute last attempt to get a decent sound
card up and working on my FBSD 2.2.6.
I have a Sound Blaster 16 -- not an immitation but the real
McCoy -- and I'm trying to get this thing to work under FreeBSD.
Previously, I wrote about having an Aztech 8-bit soundcard
AND the sb16 installed together because I needed the Aztech for its
on-board modem. I have since upgraded to a 56K external and have
finally ripped the Amazin' 2-in-one sound card/Modem out.
Now, with only the SB16 installed, my kernel has trouble
recognizing the whole thing. It works (apparently -- though I can't
absolutely confirm it is working in 16bit mode) in Windows 95.
Here is what the Sound Device Resources Tab says:
|---------|
|Resources|
|---------|---------------------------------|
| |
| IRQ 05 |
| Direct Memory Access 01 |
| Direct Memory Access 03 |
| I/O Range 0220-022F |
| I/O Range 0330-0331 |
| I/O Range 0388-038B |
| |
| [Check Marked] Use Automatic Settings |
| Conflicting Device List: |
| No conflicts |
| |
---------------------------------------------
(Other settings include "Allow full duplex operation" and
"Don't use creative 3D stereo enhancement." The Hardware version in
the "General" tab is listed as 1.0.10)
So, after warm-booting to FreeBSD, running a non-pnp kernel with
VoxWare, (booting the config menu with -c and into visual) I get:
Listed devices in Multimedia:
Device Driver IRQ DRQ Port Flags
------ ------ --- --- ---- -----
SB PCM sb0 5 1 0x220 <none listed>
SB 16 sbxvi0 - - - <none listed>
SB Midi sbmidi0 - 3 0x330 <none listed>
OPL-2/3 opl0 - - 0x388 <none listed>
The relevant parts of the probe:

opl0 at 0x388 on isa
opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM>
changing root device to st0s1a
Then, I rebooted with -c in CLI mode. (For some reason,
visual mode won't let me change a DRQ either FROM or TO 0) I unset
the sbmidi0 DRQ to -1 and set the sbxvi0 DRQ to 3. I issued a
"list" command to confirm the change, but when I booted into it
the SB16 still showed the same error above (Invalid DMA channel 1/-1)
and sbxvi0 was still not found.
Logged in as root, I tried:
# cat audio.au > /dev/audio
PCM device 0 not installed
bash: /dev/audio0: Device not configured
(/dev/audio is linked to /dev/audio0, which is supposed to be
the proper device. I tried ./MAKEDEV snd{1,2,3} and relinking,
but those didn't work either)
# playmidi midi.mid
< Music plays fine >
I then tried to run Luigi's pcm driver under pnp...

I have no idea what CSN2 is, nor pcm1.
In any case:

( I tried relinking /dev/sequencer to /dev/sequencer{1,2,3},
since the pcm's were being assigned numbers higher than 0,
but none of them worked.)

I'm sorry about this long post, but what is going on here?
I've been at this for a while, and I have run out of ideas. Just
to reemphasize, this is not a SoundBlaster Wannabe or near-Compatable.
This is the Real Deal, but doesn't seem to want to play ball.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
