However, when I try to get FreeBSD to recognize the board it can't find it. I have tried everything including setting the parameters to those that MSW sets up in PnP mode without success. The pertinent facts are these: In the config file: # Audio drivers: `snd', `sb', `pas', `gus', `pca' # # sb: SoundBlaster PCM - SoundBlaster, SB Pro, SB16, ProAudioSpectrum # sbxvi: SoundBlaster 16 # sbmidi: SoundBlaster 16 MIDI interface # options SBC_IRQ=5 #PAS-16. Must match irq on sb0 line. # PAS16: The order of the pas0/sb0/opl0 is important since the # sb emulation is enabled in the pas-16 attach. # # The i386/isa/sound/sound.doc has more information. # Beware! The addresses specified below are also hard-coded in # i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h. If you change the values here, you # must also change the values in the include file. # # Controls all sound devices controller snd0 options SBC_BASE=0x220 options SBC_IRQ=5 options SBC_DMA=3 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 conflicts drq 3 vector sbintr # irq 5 conflicts with my mouse. I have tried 10 also which MSWindows uses. device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 7 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 options "SB16_DMA=7" At Bootup: sb0 not found at 0x220 sbxvi0 not found sbmidi0 not found at 0x330 I would also like to point out the following lines from LINT: # Beware! The addresses specified below are also hard-coded in # i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h. If you change the values here, you # must also change the values in the include file. AND . . . In the file sound_config.h: If your card has nonstandard I/O address or IRQ number, change defines for the following settings in your kernel Makefile */ These seem to be out of sync. The header file uses #ifndef to determine the need for a default definition. I would appreciate any help you can give me on this subject. Is the 64 GOLD NOT supported? Or am I just missing something? If it is not supported, is there anything in the works? Thank You Very Much, James Kalmadge kalmadg@banet.net --------------446B9B3D2781E494167EB0E7-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
