Scott" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: sound troubles Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've got a real Sound Blaster on a 3.1 system that has some interesting problems with sound. The first thing I tried were the voxware drivers, with the following: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 It would play, sometimes ( using things like gqmpeg ), but it would split out : SoundBlaster: DSP Command(0xd4) timeout. IRQ conflict ? Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? errors all over the place. And then sometimes it just wouldn't play, giving the same error. So I tried the pcm driver: device pcm0 at isa? port 0x220 tty irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x0 with that as soon as I went into X to test it out it would lock the whole system up, and die. So that was bad :-( From dmesg here's what it seems to be seeing : sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 3 on isa snd0: sbxvi0 not found sbmidi0 not found at 0x330 opl0 at 0x388 on isa snd0: I moved the jumpers on the board to drq 3 and it still has the same problems. Here's what a cat /dev/sndstat comes up with : VoxWare Sound Driver:3.5-alpha15-970902 (Wed Aug 6 22:58:35 PDT 1997 Amancio Hasty@rah.star-gate.com) Config options: Installed drivers: Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM Type 2: SoundBlaster Type 6: SoundBlaster16 Type 7: SB16 MIDI Card config: SoundBlaster at 0x220 irq 5 drq 3 (SoundBlaster16 at 0xffffffff irq 1 drq 5) (SB16 MIDI at 0x330 irq 1) OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 irq 1 Audio devices: 0: SoundBlaster Pro 3.2 Synth devices: 0: Yamaha OPL-3 Midi devices: 0: SoundBlaster Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: 0: SoundBlaster Any ideas are welcome, but since the pcm driver seems to lock things solid trying that again isn't much of an option. And of course under Win98 ( it's a dual boot system ) it works fine, everytime. I suppose I could live with the warnings/errors if it would play everytime. Any thoughts? Thanks. * Joseph M.
