Hi,

I am having problems getting a sound card with a CMedia CMI8738 chipset
working on 4.3-STABLE (13 July).

In my kernel config, I have the following line entry:

device          pcm

During boot, the following messages appear:
pcm0: <CMedia CMI8738> port 0xd800-0xd8ff irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0

cat /dev/sndstat gives:
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Jul 25 2001 21:52:10
Installed devices:
pcm0: <CMedia CMI8738> at io 0xd800 irq 11 (1p/1r channels duplex)

If I cat a .au file to /dev/audio, things work fine - I get sound,
althoughm, interestingly, no activity on the SPDIF port on the
sound card.

If I run an audio player, like xmms, I get no sound, however, the
SPDIF port comes to life, and when I attach my Minidisc recorder I
get perfect sound through the SPDIF port.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and how do I get the sound
card to play to one (or more) of its analogue ports with applications
that use /dev/dsp?

(Please reply to me directly and to the list.)

Thanks,
Geoff.
