Kimio Ishii: |From: vagner@spdc.ti.com (George Vagner) | |> What do I need in order to use my sound blaster awe PNP board under |> freebsd 2.2.2 ?? | |SB AWE 32/64 driver's page for Linux/FreeBSD is below. | |check http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/midi.html And the port of a recent version of this driver (w/ a few apps and utils) for FreeBSD 2.2.* can be found at: http://multiverse.com/~rhh/awedrv Note that this driver only provides synth support, pretty near all that distinguishes an AWE32/64 or SB32 from a SB16 hardware-wise. The rest of your card is supported through the existing Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster 16 drivers. The SB & SB16 drivers delivered with 2.2.* should work fine for you if you grab the ISA PnP tools to get the card inited (so the driver will find it). The AWEDRV patch at the URL above will apply cleanly on top of this. You'll want a section in your kernel config file something like this: controller snd0 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 Alternatively as suggested, try the drivers Amancio and/or Luigi are working on that have PnP support built-in. These are work-in-progress, but you won't need the PnP tools. I'm not up on the latest status of Luigi's for SB16+ cards, but last I tried Amancio's driver (2wks ago), it works well for play (just some pops on AU files that you don't hear with the 3.0 drivers). 16-bit record isn't quite there yet, and there are some occasional 8-10 sec close hangs. But this driver will get you sound in Quake if that interests you. Randall Hopper
