Hope no one minds the cross-mailing. Wasn't sure which would be the best group. And my apologies if this appears twice; I messed up one of the addresses the first time. I'm in need of some advice on how to approach a rather tricky problem. The situation is this: I have two conflicting sound sources in my machine. One is the motherboard audio, a Crystal 4232C that cannot be disabled by hardware or software toggles, and the other is a Soundblaster AWE 64. Both devices are Plug-and-Play, both default to the same IRQ's, etc. No jumpers to configure either through hardware. What would be the best approach to take in configuring a kernel for such a setup? Ideally, I'd like to use the AWE 64, of course. I've been exploring the PnP patches, but I'm not getting something right in the configuration, as at boot time, my audio is not detected. Should I configure for both devices? Or only one? Is the order of devices critical in the PnP (pnp.c) configuration? Do I have to configure for *all* devices in pnp.c, even those I don't intend to use (game controllers and such)? A lot of questions, I know. :-) But after months of struggling with this thing, I could really use some fresh input. Obviously, I'm missing something here. I've just upgraded to FreeBSD-current, by the way. Many thanks for any advice. -- Conrad Sabatier http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads/
