Hey all! Thanks for the help so far, but I have some issues concering the configuration. Hopefully together we can figure it out. I have searched through the archives (questions, hardware, multimedia) using ES1869 is my seach phrase and found some interesting stuff, but no concrete answers. I did some LINT reading and found something to add t the kernel config (options PNPBIOS), then I recompiled and rebooted. This time it got dectected, so it seems I'm getting closer to sloving this problem. Although I don't think it's fully working. When I try to cat ding.wav | /dev/dsp I get this message "/dev/dsp: Permission denied". Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I'm not sure. Also, after the addition of the "options PNPBIOS" line I got interesting output in dmesg. Here it is: (the rest could be supplied if needed) unknown: <PNP0400> can't assign resources unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources sbc0: <ESS ES1869 (Compaq OEM)> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x388-0x38b,0x330-0x331 irq 5 drq 1,3 on isa0 pcm0: <ESS 18xx DSP> on sbc0 esscontrol0: <ESS Control> at port 0x268-0x26f on isa0 unknown: <PNP0000> can't assign resources unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources unknown: <PNP0f13> can't assign resources I remember reading in the manpage for pcm that there are some "bridge drivers" which I really didn't understand. I guess the sbc0 would be the bridge driver. I'm not sure if I should add that to my kernel config file. After re-reading the pcm man page and the LINT kernel config file it would appear so, but maybe someone can clarify that for me. Also, what the heck are the unknown: devices that seem to be found? Should I worry about those messages? Here is the full kernel config file that has gotten me this far. I'm gonna do some more recompiling to see which options does the trick. # PRESARIO - kernel config file # Compaq Presario 5240 # machine i386 cpu I586_CPU ident PRESARIO maxusers 32 options MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 emulation options INET #InterNETworking options INET6 #IPv6 communications protocols options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options FFS_ROOT #FFS usable as root device [keep this!] options SOFTUPDATES #Enable FFS soft updates support options MFS #Memory Filesystem options MD_ROOT #MD is a potential root device options NFS #Network Filesystem options NFS_ROOT #NFS usable as root device, NFS required options MSDOSFS #MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 #ISO 9660 Filesystem options CD9660_ROOT #CD-ROM usable as root, CD9660 required options PROCFS #Process filesystem options COMPAT_43 #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options SCSI_DELAY=15000 #Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options UCONSOLE #Allow users to grab the console options USERCONFIG #boot -c editor options VISUAL_USERCONFIG #visual boot -c editor options KTRACE #ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM #SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG #SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM #SYSV-style semaphores options P1003_1B #Posix P1003_1B real-time extensions options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options ICMP_BANDLIM #Rate limit bad replies options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev # To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed #options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel #options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O device isa device eisa device pci # Floppy drives #device fdc0 at isa? port IO_FD1 irq 6 drq 2 #device fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 #device fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 # ATA and ATAPI devices device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives options ATA_STATIC_ID #Static device numbering options ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA #Enable DMA on ATAPI devices # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1 device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 device vga0 at isa? # splash screen/screen saver pseudo-device splash # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100 # Floating point support - do not disable. device npx0 at nexus? port IO_NPX irq 13 # Power management support (see LINT for more options) device apm0 # Advanced Power Management # Serial (COM) ports device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 # Parallel port device ppc0 at isa? irq 7 device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) device lpt # Printer # PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code. # NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these NICs! device miibus # MII bus support device dc # DEC/Intel 21143 and various workalikes # Pseudo devices - the number indicates how many units to allocated. pseudo-device loop # Network loopback pseudo-device ether # Ethernet support pseudo-device sl 1 # Kernel SLIP pseudo-device ppp 1 # Kernel PPP pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel. pseudo-device pty # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) pseudo-device md # Memory "disks" pseudo-device gif 4 # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling pseudo-device faith 1 # IPv6-to-IPv4 relaying (translation) # The `bpf' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter. # Be aware of the administrative consequences of enabling this! pseudo-device bpf #Berkeley packet filter # USB support device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device ugen # Generic device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" device ukbd # Keyboard device ulpt # Printer device ums # Mouse device uscanner # Scanners # USB Ethernet, requires mii device aue # ADMtek USB ethernet device cue # CATC USB ethernet device kue # Kawasaki LSI USB ethernet # Soundcard Support options PNPBIOS device pcm Just for further information purposes, here is the output of a 'cat /dev/sndstat': FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Nov 28 2000 11:14:13 Installed devices: pcm0: <ESS 1869 DSP> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:3 (1p/1r channels) I believe that's all the information I have thus far. I'm going to continue playing with the kernel configuration to see if I can get the dang thing working. Once I get it working, I'll post my kernel config file in hopes that it might help someone out in the future.
