I'm trying to get audio working. I recompiled the kernel with the lines: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr I ran: sh MAKEDEV snd0 Here's what cat /dev/sndstat reports VoxWare Sound Driver:3.0-beta-950506 (Sun Feb 5 14:38:12 EST 1995 freebsd-hackers@freefall.cdrom.com) Config options: ffffffff Installed drivers: Type 2: SoundBlaster Card config: SoundBlaster at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 Audio devices: 0: SoundBlaster Pro 3.2 Synth devices: Midi devices: 0: SoundBlaster Timers: 0: System Timer Mixers: 0: SoundBlaster And dmesg is reporting: Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? This is on a Toshiba Tecra 720 laptop running FreeBSD 2.2.7. The book says the sound is a Crystal Semiconductor CS4232, Yamaha OPL3 (YMF262) and Yamaha D/A converter (YAC512) compatible with Widows sound system and SoundBlaster Pro. KDE works great on it except for sound which is something I'm doing wrong with setting it up in FreeBSD I'm sure. When I cat a file to /dev/audio I can hear a very very faint noise as the file starts to play but no sound comes out. The main volume slider is all the way up in the KDE mixer panel. I tried catting /bin/cat and several .au files and several .wav files and they all do the same thing. If I run the slider up for the microphone in the KDE mixer while playing a sound file I can hear feedback but only while playing a file. It looks like I have the right IRQ/DRQ settings but that's what it's complaining about. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
