I am having trouble getting my PnP ISA Sound Blaster AWE64 working correctly. FreeBSD does detect the sound card on boot, and I can change the mixer settings. However, whenever I try to play some sounds, no sound comes out (using xmms). I have cat'ed random data in addition to a .au file to /dev/dsp, from which I got a split second of noise which gets abrubtly cut off. Changing the volume in the mixer does in fact effect the amount of white noise coming out of the (or whatever color noise it is). Here is more information than you wanted to know (if you need to know more, just ask): I'm using a PnP bios, so if I need to change any settings there tell me. It's from about '98. uname -a FreeBSD chesire 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #4: Tue Jul 11 18:07:03 GMT 2000 root@chesire:/usr/src/sys/compile/CHESIRE i386 cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Jul 2 2000 23:42:56 Installed devices: pcm0: <SB DSP 4.16> at io 0x220 irq 9 drq 0:5 (1p/1r channels duplex) dmesg | grep sbc sbc0: <Creative SB AWE64> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x300-0x301,0x388-0x38b irq 9 drq 0,5 on isa0 sbc0: setting card to irq 9, drq 0, 5 pcm0: <SB DSP 4.16> on sbc0 in my kernel config file: device pcm device sbc # note, I have tried manually changing the sonud card settings for sbc, # but freebsd detected the ones above automatically, and overrode the ones # in the kernel config To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
