I am having a real challenge getting a SoundBlaster 16 PCI sound card to work correctly under FreeBSD 4.1.1. I have read all the relevant articles in the listserv archives but I still have not been successful so am submitting a plea for help to the listserv. All hints, tips and tricks are graciously welcome. The symptom is that when I play an mp3, the playback is very low volume, staticy and sound only comes from the left speaker. It also sounds like the MP3 is playing at half speed. I have been testing the install with mp3blaster and amp. The following provides the details for my setup. I added "device pcm" to my keneral options file and rebuilt with > /usr/sbin/config/FIREBALL > cd ../../compile/FIREBALL > make depend > make > make install > reboot The only non-GENERIC kernel option that I previously enabled is IPFILTER for ipnat and ipf. Essentially, the FIREBALL kernel is the GENERIC kernel with "option IPFILTER" and "device pcm" > uname -a FreeBSD fireball 4.1.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE #1: Sun Nov 5 20:00:27 PST 2000 root@fireball:/usr/src/sys/compile/FIREBALL i386 > cat sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Nov 5 2000 20:00:25 Installed devices: pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371> at io 0xc800 irq 15 (1p/1r channels duplex) >cd /dev >sh MAKEDEV snd0 > ls -lrt /dev lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 4 Nov 6 07:57 pss -> pss0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0 Nov 6 07:57 mixer0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 1 Nov 6 07:57 sequencer0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 2 Nov 6 07:57 midi0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 3 Nov 6 07:57 dsp0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 4 Nov 6 07:57 audio0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 5 Nov 6 07:57 dspW0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 6 Nov 6 07:57 sndstat crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 8 Nov 6 07:57 music0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 9 Nov 6 07:57 pss0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Nov 6 07:57 mixer -> mixer0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 10 Nov 6 07:57 sequencer -> sequencer0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 4 Nov 6 07:57 dsp -> dsp0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Nov 6 07:57 audio -> audio0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 5 Nov 6 07:57 dspW -> dspW0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Nov 6 07:57 music -> music0 > mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100 Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 100:100 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer line1 is currently set to 75:75 Mixer video is currently set to 75:75 All hints, tips, or tricks will be most graciously received.
