It is jumper-configured to the irq/port mentioned below, and works very nicely in Windows95 and in 3.4-STABLE on the same machine -- just a reboot away. I get no error messages whatsoever, and the card in fact does seem to work -- only is the maximum volume not nearly loud enough. When running cdcontrol or xmcd, very, very far away, I hear Frank Sinatra... (And yes, the volume is turned up...:-) Details: (desk) k => less /sys/i386/conf/desk # pcm_?_ to get pcm0 instead of pcm1: device pcm? device sbc0 at isa? port 0x240 irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 # The (working) setting I used in 3.4-STABLE: #device pcm0 at isa? irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 port 0x240 tty (desk) k => dmesg sbc0: <Soundblaster Pro> at port 0x240-0x24f irq 10 drq 1 on isa0 pcm0: <SB DSP 3.02> on sbc0 (desk) k => cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Mar 17 2000 12:23:01 Installed devices: pcm0: <SB DSP 3.02> at io 0x240 irq 10 drq 1 (1p/1r channels) (desk) k => mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer synth is currently set to 0:0 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 (desk) k => ll /dev/audi* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel - 6 13 Mär 22:30 /dev/audio -> audio0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 30, 4 13 Mär 22:30 /dev/audio0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 30, 20 3 Mär 16:04 /dev/audio1 >How-To-Repeat: I had this problem ever since I first updated to then 4.0-CURRENT late last year. Should it prove to be rather obscure and not easily repeatable I'm perfectly willing to provide more information if needed (and told how to get it), or to try patches. >Fix: Sorry, I'm a user (and my own system administrator), not a programmer! :-) I'd be very nice if it could be fixed: I really enjoy listening to music while doing my work! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
