pcm, bktr, etc....
Well, as it turns out, my ethernet, and my bktr device have no problem shareing IRQ's, but my soundcard has plenty of problems, even when it gets it's own irq... it plays sound through the sound-in just fine, but the dsp doesn't work quit right: Applications can play sound (although it plays a little too fast), and when they try to stop playing sound, they just stutter until something else tries to use the dsp device. Also, my bios is really freaky. It refuses to assign any irqs except 10 and 11 to installed PCI devices. I can't figure it out. I've completely rearranged everything and it still refuses to work properly. Here is the pcm part of a dmesg: pcm0: Aureal Vortex 8820 irq 10 at device 19.0 on pci0 pcm0: irq test failed pcm0: codec timeout reading register 2 (fe7604) pcm0: codec timeout reading register 26 (fe7604) ac97: dac not ready Thanks Kenneth Culver To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

It just picks 2 different IRQs and assigns them to everything. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I have 2 VooDoo 2's and at the place I had them, they were causing problems, I moved them, and now everything works fine. I still had to remove the Vortex though, it wasn't working right. This is a board with 5 PCI slots right? If so then you are aware that 1 of the slots is a 'clone' of the other and only cards that can cope with sharing PCI INT pins should be used in those 2 slots. Your motherboard manual will have more information. Yeah, it has 5 pci slots and 2 ISA, and one of the PCI is shared. I think I may have had the soundcard, and the bktr card both in the shared slots. Anyway, That problem is fixed, but the aureal driver has some problems. It plays sound (dsp) but in xmms, the slower the kbps, the faster it plays. 56kbps sound sounds like The Chipmunks, and 128 Kbps sound is just a little too fast. Also, when a sound stops, it stutters until another app tries to use the dsp device.
