I have an old ISA non-PNP Sound Blaster 16 Vibra. It probes as
follows:
sbc0: <SoundBlaster 16> at port 0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 on isa0
pcm1: <SB16 DSP 4.13> on sbc0
using the following /boot/device.hints:
hint.pcm.0.at="isa"
hint.pcm.0.irq="5"
hint.pcm.0.drq="1"
hint.pcm.0.flags="0x15"
hint.sbc.0.at="isa"
hint.sbc.0.port="0x220"
hint.sbc.0.irq="5"
hint.sbc.0.drq="1"
hint.sbc.0.flags="0x15"
I use DEVFS.
>Description:
I have the following sound-related devices in /dev after boot:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 20 14 อมา 13:39 /dev/audio1.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00010014 14 อมา 13:39 /dev/audio1.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 19 14 อมา 13:39 /dev/dsp1.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00010013 14 อมา 13:39 /dev/dsp1.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 21 14 อมา 13:39 /dev/dspW1.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 0x00010015 14 อมา 13:39 /dev/dspW1.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 16 14 อมา 13:39 /dev/mixer1
cr--r--r-- 1 root wheel 30, 6 14 อมา 13:39 /dev/sndstat
And sysctl hw.snd.unit is (default value):
hw.snd.unit: 0
pcm driver does not create /dev/{audio,dsp,dspW,mixer} aliases because
it tries to use unit 0 (according to hw.snd.unit), whereas my box only
have unit 1. See /sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.c:pcm_makelinks()
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
First, you can set hw.snd.unit to 1 or whatever in your kernel
hints file or in /boot/device.hints.
Next, you can set hw.snd.unit to 1 by appending
'hw.snd.unit=1' to your /etc/rc.sysctl file.
And last. With proposed patch, hw.snd.unit defaults to '-1'
which now means 'autoselect the first existing unit for
making aliases in /dev'. This variant is prefered :)
This PR supercedes my old and rather lame kern/21308 so whoever cares
please close kern/21308 as soon as this one.
