Robey) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: FreeBSD sound and SB16 Date: 11 Jul 1994 23:51:36 GMT Organization: Project GLUE, University of Maryland, College Park, MD Lines: 19 Message-ID: <2vslu8$1co@mojo.eng.umd.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: multiplexer.eng.umd.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] I had the sound running great under 1.1R, using my SoundBlaster 16. Catting to /dev/audio worked fine, and running tracker on audio/music/mod gave very pleasant tunes. When I upgraded to current, I kept the /dev/audio, but the tracker tunes started showing commutation by silent periods, one per beat. My SoundBlaster uses IRQ 2 (9), and the sound driver says that IRQ 2 doesn't even exist. It does, it's standard. I found the spot in the code that says it, in sb16_dsp.c, function set_irq_hw(), but I can't find a good enough source of programming info to be able to divine the fix. If anyone has the SoundBlaster 16 making music under FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, let me know, ok? -- ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Esix SVR4) and n3lxx (FreeBSD) (301) 459-2316 | ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
