Hi,

I'm running 4.3 and am a complete newbie to FreeBSD.

I have tried the guidelines in the Free BSD handbook, that
comes with the installation. It talks vagely about the sound
setup for SoundBlaster 16.

I added in MYKERNEL config:

device pcm
device pcm0 at isa? irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x0

I had then recompiled the kernel and rebooted my machine
(did the whole thing:
  # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
  # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
  # make depend
  # make
  # make install
  # shutdown -r now

The end of 'dmesg' says:

sbc0: <Creative ViBRA16X> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,3 on isa0
pcm1: <SB16 DSP 4.16 (ViBRA16X)> on sbc0


I then made the devices:

# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Jul 13 2001 14:16:12
Installed devices:
pcm1: <SB16 DSP 4.16 (ViBRA16X)> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 (1p/1r channels)
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV snd0
# ./MAKEDEV snd1

--------------

How can I try sound now? I've done the following:

$ cat /usr/local/share/apps/kjezz/sounds/reflect.au > /dev/audio

<no sound at all>

$ xcdplay
open: : Permission denied
open: : Permission denied
open: : Permission denied
open: : Permission denied
open: : Permission denied
open: : Permission denied
[...snip...]


Any idea what is wrong with this procedure for Sound Blaster 16?

Thanks a lot!

Rob.
