Heh, I was working on a driver last night too. I started with Cameron Grant's pcm template, merging Zach's card-specific configuration (including the firmware). I've also used the ESS docs to sanity check some magic numbers. pcm template http://people.freebsd.org/~cg/template.c ESS docs http://virgo.caltech.edu/~dmoore/maestro3.pdf.gz [ES1983==pci1998] It does "something," generating nice static when writing /dev/audio (the same data to a pca /dev/pcaudio produces low quality, but correct audio). The chip DMA pointer cycles through the expect physical address range. Mine is an ES1983 Maestro-3i, pci 0x125d1998, in a Dell Inspiron 4000. FreeBSD reports the correct pci id. I'm not a driver guru, I'm very interested in help and/or an independently written working driver. (: I'm also happy to share what I've got so far. -Darrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
