Date: Fri, 29 Mar 1996 14:14:55 +1000 Organization: Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Queensland Lines: 32 Message-ID: <315B63BF.41C67EA6@elec.uq.edu.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: dendrite.elec.uq.edu.au Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) I've been trying for a while now to get my sound setup working properly under FreeBSD. My setup is: Pentium 133 FreeBSD 2.1 AWE32 Soundblaster compat. card It seems that the kernel has the correct configuration: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330 And this is acknowleged on bootup without any complaints. However, cat'ing a file to /dev/audio produces nothing. I have a CDROM, and I _can_ get audio through the sound card using xcd or cdplayer. I can also play audio files in Windows95. So, can anyone give me any ideas??? Thanks in advance. -- =-----= marcusg@elec.uq.edu.au http://www.elec.uq.edu.au/~marcusg/ =-= Marcus Gallagher Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Queensland Brisbane. Q. 4072.
