Im having problems with an option for soundcard support to put in a kernel config file. To begin with I added the following lines into the config file: device snd device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 0 flags 0x11 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 irq 9 device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 device joy0 at isa? port 0x200 The kernel compiled properly and successfully loaded the soundblaster pro 3.1 driver. But I still got no sound out of the card, using cat /filename > /dev/audio or > /dev/dsp and got the same no sound result using play /filename when I checked cat /dev/sndstat it showed that no mixer was loaded, which seemed like a fair explanation for the silence, so I dug deeper in man sb(4). This turned up an extra option for the Sound Galaxy pro card that I am using which should specifically add mixer support - the SG card apparently has a slightly different mixer from a basic SB pro which includes bass/treble adjustment, and I hoped the problem would be solved. So I went ahead and added the suggestion from man sb options __SGNXPRO__ into the config file, right after the sound devices section, but now the kernel doesnt compile any more. After running ln -s /usr/local/kernels/MYKERNELFILE I then enter as usual: /usr/sbin/config MYKERNELFILE but that's as far as the process gets. The output on the screen is: Error Unknown option __SGNXPRO__ (line xxx) I've checked and double-checked the relevant documentation and im sure I havnt made a typo or syntax error. What's more that specific option seems to have been present going back quite a few releases, so I'm truly puzzled why config wont accept it Has anyone else got experience with this kind of card, or with options parameters for soundcards generally, or should I be thinking about reporting this to bugs ? thanks in advance Jean-Mark Dupoux jmdupoux_@_lineone.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
