Does anyone know how to solve the problem of quiet audio on AWE cards (and probably others from a mailing list post I saw). Mine is an AWE64 ISA-PnP, which is detected correctly on boot, and works perfectly well except for one glaring problem: The drivers don't seem to be able to talk to the input and output gain controls. When changing them with any of the various mixers, while you see the change reflected in the values, doesn't actually change the level on the card - FreeBSD knows what it _thinks_ the gain controls are set to, but they aren't actually talking to the card at all. The card is most certainly working (booting back into windows is deafening if you forget to turn the speakers back down...) as the gain controls have always worked fine in doze and linux. I'm using the pcm and sbc devices in the kernel config, with no forced settings. From the dmesg output it's getting all the IRQs and IO port addresses right, too. All other mixer settings work perfectly. I'm using 4.2-RELEASE, and all the latest ports of various mixers. dmesg output: sbc0: <Creative SB AWE64> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,5 on isa0 pcm0: <SB DSP 4.16> on sbc0 /dev/sndstat: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Apr 22 2001 18:36:39 Installed devices: pcm0: <SB DSP 4.16> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:5 (1p/1r channels duplex) The broken settings as listen in mixer are: Mixer igain is currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogain is currently set to 34:34 (regardless of what you set them to, the card always outputs/inputs at the default card setting) Any help appreciated, thanks, james To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
