Hi,

I am currently experiencing problems getting my sound card to work under
4.3-RELEASE.  The card has a CMedia chipset, and does get detected by
the kernel:

pcm0: <CMedia CMI8738> port 0xd800-0xd8ff irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0

The output from /dev/sndstat is as follows:

redpoint:~% cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Jul 16 2001 18:08:46
Installed devices:
pcm0: <CMedia CMI8738> at io 0xd800 irq 11 (1p/1r channels duplex)
redpoint:~%

If I do something like "cat /kernel > /dev/dsp", I get the expected result
of a very ugly noise.  Taking a .au file, such as the ones supplied
with afterstep and cat'ing them to /dev/audio yields the correct result
of the sound being played.
Apps such as xmixer work fine to control volume levels, however, if I
try to use x11amp to play mp3s - it is just dead.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Please send replies directly to me, as well as to the list.

Thanks,
Geoff.
