RE: Sound server issue
I finally got it working using the manual settings in the LINT file. My last question is how to configure the secondary DMA channel. The man pages for sbc: The value of flags specifies the secondary DMA channel. If the secondary DMA channel is C, set the flags to (C | 0x10). For a sound card without the secondary DMA channel, the flags should be set to zero. This is the sbc0 I am using device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 I know the settings for the card (they are set in the BIOS). It has a 8 bit channel at DMA 1 and a 16-bit at DMA 5. Am I right in guessing that [drq 1] is the DMA designation? And then how do you get the second DMA channel active? I think I only have 8-bit sound as wav files are sounding pretty crappy. Am I right in thinking that the man page should read like this: If the secondary DMA channel is C (where C is the number of the DMA channel) then set the flags to (C | 0x10) Or is C a DMA channel of some weird type? Again thanks for the help.

Re: Sound server issue
I have a 1200 at home. Unfortunately, I don't have access to it at the moment. The way I found out which driver to use was to do a kldload snd_driver to load all drivers and then start unloading individual drivers until it complained about the module being in use.
