|Well, I've been playing around with my sound setup again, trying to get
|it to work with FreeBSD (v2.1)
|
|The card is a Creative AWE32. I think the device is probed on bootup
|(the speakers pop), and if I do
|
|mixer vol 100
|
|I can hear the speakers "hissing". So why if I do
|cat anything.au > /dev/audio
|it just hangs there, as for other things (e.g RealAudio, just hangs).
|Any help very much appreciated!
I've been running the same version of Voxware that you are on a Sound
Blaster 32 (AWE32 - mem + vibra) on v2.1 and later versions without any
problems (currently running it now on a 2.2 SNAP, except with an EMU8000
MIDI driver added). Should be pretty much the same as your config
soundcard hardware-wise.
Just a few things come to mind that you might check. 1) Possible
IRQ/DMA conflict with another card? 2) do the boot-up messages confirm all
the relevent sound drivers are picking up your card?:
sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13>
sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa
sbxvo0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.13>
sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa
<SoundBlaster MPU-401>
opl0 at 0x388 on isa
opl0: <Yamaha OPL-3 FM>
3) if you're running a PCI motherboard, do you have IRQ5, DMA 1, and DMA 5
reserved for ISA in your BIOS? And 4) Is your AWE PNP?
