Hello,

I am not really sure which mailing list I should use to ask this
question:

 I have a Soundblaster Pro 3.2, and I want to make it work with FreeBSD
2.2.6.
But when a use an audio player (such as mpg123), it says :
Sound: DMA timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

I put in my conf file:
controller snb0
device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330

When I reboot, sb0 is found.
 (sbxvi0 and sbmidi0 are not found, but I think I don't need them
because my sound card is a Sounblaster Pro, not a Soundblaster 16)

I also tried some other configurations, and I checked there was no
conflicts, but I still got this message. ( I also created the node
MAKEDEV snd0)

Do you know how I can solve this problem ?
Is there anything else I must do to make my sound card work ?

I have seen in the mailing list archives that a lot of people have
already asked this question, but unfortunately, I could not get any
answer .

I have another question: which application can I use to set up the
volume ?

Thanks a lot in advance, I really need to use the sound card.
