I have had a Turtle Beach Tropez sound card for my PC for close to a
month now. Very close in fact. I bought it somewhere that has a 30
day return policy, and I'm trying to get it working with FreeBSD
before my 30 days runs out (incidentally, that would be the 11th of
July)
The card is supposed to be SB Pro compatible and WSS compatible.
After several days of trying the SB drivers with limited success (the
machine would recognize the card on boot, but 'cat x.au > /dev/audio'
would just hang with no audio), I took the SB drivers out of the kernel
and let it use the mss driver. This one almost works.
If I cat x.au > /dev/audio or send a .wav to /dev/dsp, I get the first
part of the sound out, but then it stops and I have to ^C the job.
This sounds like a problem others were mentioning in regards to their
soundblasters. Is this a problem with my configuration, or could the
FreeBSD 2.0.5 sound stuff just be a little broken?
Any responses before July 11 are GREATLY appreciated. (I need to
decide by then whether or not to keep this card).
thanks,
brian
