It's probably because I haven't paid all that much attention to sound, so I don't know it as well as I should. I want to ask a few questions. If you know any of the answers, I'd appreciate some info. I have an Intel DK440LX motherboard (because of the dual processors). It has a pretty large array of on-board peripherals, and the sound is one of them, based upon (according to the pdf docs) Crystal CS4236B, which has an OPL-3 compatible FM synthesizer. The new midi driver actually has the ability to drive a midi connection, so I have to know about the midi port, which I've never needed before. Add that to PNP, that's causing my problems in getting it all going. I have had sound working great, via PNP & kernel.conf, so I am reasonably familiar with pnp(4) and kget(8), and the boot files. I've had my sound rearranging itself via kernel.conf successfully. Does the midi port need it's own IRQ? I had the sound card listed as running on IRQ 15, ioaddr 0x534 for WSS. The soundblaster compatibility at ioaddr 0x220; I didn't have a line for the FM sythesizer. Here's the line I had: pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x534 port2 0x220 irq0 15 drq0 1 drq1 0 OK, to add the FM synthesizer, I added a port 1 clause, which changed the line to: pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x534 port 1 0x388 port2 0x220 irq0 15 drq0 1 drq1 0 pnpinfo seemed to find this ok, and set it up. The midi(4) man page that came with Seigo's driver talks about the midi uart --- does it share that same irq (the one I had set to 15) or does it need it's own? I had set up a second kernel.conf line: pnp 1 3 os enable port0 0x330 irq 15 which I thought would handle midi. It kept on giving me the error line /kernel: open: unit 1 not configured, perhaps you want unit 2 ? I tried setting that line 2 of kernel.conf so it would use irq 11 (an irq of it's own). It still doesn't work. The probe message doesn't tell a lot: uartsio0: probing at port 0x330. opl0: probing at port 0x330. Is that 0x330 address right, for a uart? I thought that was the address to right to the midi device ... I didn't realize that's a uart. Here's the end of my pnpinfo listing, maybe it will be of help: Logical device #0 IO: 0x0534 0x0388 0x0220 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 IRQ 15 0 DMA 1 0 IO range check 0x00 activate 0x01 Logical device #1 IO: 0x0200 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 IRQ 0 0 DMA 4 4 IO range check 0x00 activate 0x01 Logical device #2 IO: 0x0120 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 IRQ 0 0 DMA 4 4 IO range check 0x00 activate 0x01 Logical device #3 IO: 0x0330 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 IRQ 0 0 DMA 4 4 IO range check 0x00 activate 0x01 ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic and jaunt, both FreeBSD-current.
