I've now, after som forth and back, managed to get FreeBSD 1.1.0R to
recognize my SoundBlaster 16 card upon booting. However, playing
.au files does not seem to work (i.e. 'cat foo.au >/dev/audio'). Now,
/dev/MAKEDEV says about the /dev/audio device 'Not fully implemented' -
does this mean 'forgeddit', or 'go to -current', or may I have missed
some signs while configuring the system? I basically configured and
rebuilt the kernel
( device snd2 at isa? port 0x240 irq 7 drq 7 vector sbintr
not default setup, but it's recognized
snd2 at 0x240 irq 7 drq 7 on isa
snd2: <SoundBlaster Pro 4.5>
eventhough it also says
MIDI: Successfully attached ProAudioSpectrum MV101 )
and made the device files ('/dev/MAKEDEV' snd). I've also fetched
'xmix' from freebsd.cdrom.com to see if the volume was turned off -
'xmix' works (I can hear the noise of my tuner getting louder -etc),
but still no (audible) recording or playing back on the /dev/audio device.
Is anyone else doing this on FreeBSD 1.1.0? Suggestions welcome, I'm loosing
out on a lot of ITR at the time being...
Have a nice day.
