I've posted to comp.os.freebsd.misc and not had any luck, likewise with various archive searches. I'm running FreeBSD 4.1.1 upgrade from 4.01 because I had similar problem there and thought the upgrade might help. I have a Trident 4DX sound card from Jaton that I would like to get working. The kernel config file contains the line "device pcm", and the new kernel correctly finds the card at system boot, it gives the following message : pcm0: port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xeffff000-0xefffffff irq 9 at device 14.0 on pci0 I have done "sh MAKEDEV snd0" and this appears to have worked correctly, greating softlinks from dsp to dsp0, ect. When I run mpg123 I get the following error messages : pcm0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead pcm0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead And yes, I do get it twice. Very, very, rarely sound will work. This may be based on wether or not I have previously booted into windows and used the sound card there, but then again it may not. Output from uname -a is : FreeBSD Preacher 4.1.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE #8: Mon Oct 9 20:31:51 MDT 2000 root@Preacher:/usr/src/sys/compile/Preacher i386 Is there some step in sound card setup that I am missing? Do I need to adjust my kernel.config file (I don't seem to have one at present) or add a line in the configuration file for the custom kernel? Or is this a known bug? Is it being worked on or is there someone who can give me enough information about sound in the kernel that I can try writting the patch myself in a short amount of time?
