Hi,
I've been working on configuring my soundcard for use in NetBSD.
Now, I have a Creative SB AWE64 PnP card. Here is a line from my dmesg:
isapnp0: <Creative SB AWE64 PnP, CTL0022, , WaveTable> port 0x620/4 not
configure
Now, to my understanding this is one of the cards that is supported by
NetBSD. So, I went to /dev and ran "./MAKEDEV all" to enable /dev/audio
/dev/sound /dev/mixer. Now, when I send anything to /dev/audio (ex: cat
test > /dev/audio) I get a 'Device busy' error and when I try to play
anything under KDE nothing happens. I'm all out of ideas. I've heard
that I may have to recompile the kernel in order to enable sound.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kevin
