Bryan > I got a pcchips M747 motherboard > This board has onboard Soundpro HT1869V+ sound chip on it PCChips have a terrible habbit of relabeling and renumbering all the chips they use. Your sound chip is actually made by Crystal Media, and is either the ISA 8330 chip or PCI 8338 chip I'm use the 747 uses the ISA 8330. (ignore the fact that it says 'PCI' on the top of the chip. It is ISA. I've had the ISA 8330 working on FreeBSD. It needs carefull setting up. I had to do alot of hand configuration to the PnP settings and wish I had had more time with the motherboard to get FreeBSD to recognise it. Anyway, normally the chip takes 3 IRQs (one for SB 16 mode, one for MSS mode, one for a MIDI UART) and uses both SB base address 0x220 and MSS base address 0x530 etc etc. You want to use the pcm driver in FreeBSD. And as the drivers PnP id is not recognised by Luigi's PCM driver, you need to put the base address and IRQs in the kernel config file. device pcm0 at isa? port 0x530 irq 10 dma 1 or whatever values you have. So, you can make it work. Watch out for the onboard video. It is an Sis 6326. XFree86 3.3.5's graphical config program crashes on this chip. You need to run the text based XFree config file generaion program. However, once that is made, the SVGA server runs great. I've got one of these cards in the house.
