     I recently upgraded my system and switched to FreeBSD 2.0.5.  In the
process, the /dev/audio device for my PAS has quit working.  I get about 3/4
second of audio, and then it quits.

     This sounded like an IRQ problem to me, so I tried flipping IRQs/DMAs (-c)
with no change in the result.  The /dev/audio1 Sound Blaster compatibility
device works fine.  However, both devices worked with no problems on my old
486 w/ FreeBSD 2.0.

     Is there something I can try to get a better handle on why /dev/audio
isn't working?


The systems are pretty different, but in case it might help, my new system is:

     ASUS P55TP4XE PCI/ISA P100 w/ pipe/burst cache
        LPT0: ECP mode (IRQ 7, DMA not used)
	COM1: IRQ 4
	COM2: IRQ 3
	Dual IDE & Floppy
     16 meg
     PCI: Hercules Stingray 64/Video
     ISA: PAS Rev C    (IRQ 10, DMA 3, SBCompat: IRQ 7, DMA 1)
     ISA: AT1500BT NIC (IRQ 12, DMA 7)

My old system was:

     Micronics MX30 VLB/ISA 486/33
     8 meg
     VLB: ATI Graphics Ultra Pro
     VLB: Multi-I/O
          Dual IDE & Floppy
	  COM2,3 (IRQs 3,5)
     ISA: Multi-I/O
          COM1 - (IRQ 4)
     ISA: PAS Rev C    (IRQ 10, DMA 3, SBCompat: IRQ 7, DMA 1)
     ISA: AT1500BT NIC (IRQ 12, DMA 7)

     I'd appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.
