Thanks to the tips from Doug and others I've managed to get my
ESS 1868 recognised and (almost) working with FreeBSD.
I have changed my BIOS settings, modified MAKEDEV as recommended
in posts to freebsd-questions, and run "MAKEDEV snd1".
I can play CDs and audio files, but sound only comes out of the
right speaker. The left speaker is silent. I am running FreeBSD
Stable built from a 5th July 1998 CVSup.
When playing MOD sound files (using the s3mod port) and running
X, the X display goes fuzzy. I don't know whether both problems
are related.
Relevant dmesg output:
Probing for PnP devices:
CSN 1 Vendor ID: ESS1868 [0x68187316] Serial 0xffffffff
ESS1868 (rev 11)
pcm1 (ESS1868 <ESS1868> sn 0xffffffff) at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags
0x0 id 14
Relevant kernel configuration:
controller pnp0
device pcm0 at isa? port ? tty irq ? drq ? flags 0x0
vector pcmintr
[Note: the device line above has been wrapped by my newsreader -
it appears as just one line in my config]
Someone posted to freebsd-questions with a similar problem on
14th June. No replies were sent to the list. I have written to
him privately - he has yet to solve this problem.
Thanks for reading,
Tom
