Luigi (and others), I have a tiny problem getting my soundcard to work under FreeBSD. Yes, it is the infamous OPTi 82C931. I actually have a proper OPTi soundcard, so I thought, stupidly, that it might be easy to get it to work. Anyway, I installed pnp971020.tgz source patched the files, then installed the snd980215.tgz source and patched the files. Then I included various bits, compiled, then no matter what I tried it didn't work. This is sound part of my kernel config file - GENERIC >controller pnp0 >device pcm0 at isa? port 0x530 tty irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x10 >vector pcmintr >device pcm1 at isa? port 0x220 tty irq 5 drq 1 vector pcmintr The reason I put in two pcm devices was just in case it detected and attached the OPTi in MSS or SB Pro mode. I was hacking the kernel to see if I could get the sound card operating, but it wasn't until I found out that it had to be configured with the PnP registers that I realized that I couldn't do it via the non-PnP drivers within the original /sys/i386/isa/snd directory. Finally the last thing I did was go into the config and enter this PnP line. >OPTi931: PnP id 0x3109143e > > http://www.opti.com/ opti931_21.pdf > > pnp 1 1 os enable port0 0x534 port2 0x220 port3 0xe0d irq0 10 >drq0 1 drq1 6 After I entered this it still didn't work. Something funny I noted was that if you went into DOS and loaded the driver, the card still didn't get detected by the PnP auto-detect but was still getting attached to the pcm0 device at 0x220,5,1. But, when this happened I couldn't get any audio. (Even if I changed all /dev's to snd1) If I reinstall all the sources and add an sb0 device et al in as normal, I can do the boot up in DOS get the OPTi initialized then reboot into FreeBSD and getting it working okay. Should I stick to this? Finally, is the files I have for pnp???.tgz and snd???.tgz the most up to date? Some things you might want to know. I have - 486 dx2 80 FreeBSD 2.2.5/Current Non-PnP motherboard I think thats about all you need. If you were able to get it working under these conditions could you send me a copy of the config file as well as any modifications to the code. Just in case you need it here's a copy of the relevant dmesg output. >FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE #0: Mon Mar 2 01:51:19 EST 1998 > root@reman.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC >Calibrating clock(s) ... i8254 clock: 1193666 Hz >CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION not specified - using default frequency >CPU: i486 DX2 (486-class CPU) > Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x435 Stepping=5 > Features=0x3<FPU,VME> >real memory = 25165824 (24576K bytes) >config > ls >Device port irq drq iomem iosize unit flags enabled >pcm0 0x530 10 1 0x0 0 0 0x10 Yes >pcm1 0x220 5 1 0x0 0 1 0x0 Yes >CSN LDN conf en irqs drqs others (PnP devices) > 1 1 OS Y 10 0 1 6 port 0x534 0x0 0x220 0xe0d >config >quit >avail memory = 22503424 (21976K bytes) >Probing for PnP devices: >Trying Read_Port at 203 >Trying Read_Port at 243 >Trying Read_Port at 283 >Trying Read_Port at 2c3 >Trying Read_Port at 303 >Trying Read_Port at 343 >Trying Read_Port at 383 >Trying Read_Port at 3c3 >No Plug-n-Play devices were found >Probing for devices on the ISA bus: >mss_detect error, busy still set (0xff) >pcm0 not found at 0x530 >mss_detect error, busy still set (0xff) >pcm1 not found at 0x220 Thanks in advance. regards, chris -- Christopher Day, The reman, Loosecannon E-Mail the_reman@hotmail.com Homepage http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Lair/1218 ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
