However, OSS isn't part of the FreeBSD distribution and is a third-party LKM, so it can't be fixed by anyone here (though I have offered my services in helping them solve this, and never got a reply.) :-/ >Grab the 0.4.0 driver from here, and pop in the few kernel files: > > http://multiverse.com/~rhh/awedrv/ > >Build a new kernel with: > > controller snd0 > device pas0 at isa? port 0x388 irq 10 drq 3 vector pasintr ^^^^ You sure about that one? :-) > device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr > device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 > device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 > device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 > device awe0 at isa? port 0x620 > I haven't tried the new kernel drivers lately, but I do wish to give OSS a chance for a while longer (don't want to think I spent $25 for nothing). What I may do is create an install another kernel I can choose at boot with these new drivers, and one without (OSS and the Voxware drivers would conflict). --- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@tri-lakes.net --- Powered by FreeBSD, the best free OS on the planet ---- (http://www.freebsd.org)
