Every time I have upgraded either Freebsd (at least five times) or my soundblaster card (8 bit to 16 bit) configuring this to work with Freebsd is a major pain in the rear. I've been trying to get this to work for weeks no luck. I am using these same settings for Mickysoft and it works fine. The same settings do not work in Freebsd. Can anyone tell me why? Soundblaster 16 irq=5, dma=1, dma=7, port 220, port 300, port 388 AHA 1542CF irq=11, dma=5, port=330 Kernel config: ------------- controller aha0 at isa? port "IO_AHA0" bio irq ? drq 5 vector ahaintr controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr options "SB16_IRQ=5" device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 7 options "SB16_DMA=7" device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x300 -------------- dmesg: ------- aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (aha0:0:0): "MICROP 4110-09NB_Nov18F TN0F" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(aha0:0:0): Direct-Access 1002MB (2053880 512 byte sectors) (aha0:1:0): "SEAGATE ST31230N 0300" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(aha0:1:0): Direct-Access 1010MB (2069860 512 byte sectors) (aha0:5:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3601TA 0265" type 5 removable SCSI 2 sb0 not found at 0x220 sbxvi0 not found sbmidi0 not found at 0x300 -------------------------- I've read the FAQ, man pages, Handbook, tried different settings.. eye of newt, sacrificed a couple of virgins. It still doesn't work. One time for a previous release of Freebsd someone on IRC gave me a line to add into my kernel config that made things work for him..and it worked for me. Didn't preserve it when I upgraded it and don't remember who it was. Its certainly not something thats in the docs. I've noticed in previous releases of Freebsd (I'm using 2.2.2-Rel now) that the reliability of the sound card working is a crap shoot at best. Whats the problem with this guys? :---==@==---==@==---==@==---: Joseph Beiter Hacking's just another word for nothing jwb@cosmic.org left to kludge.
