Finally tiring of using Windows at work (albeit only to connect via VNC
to a NetBSD box!), I decided to load NetBSD-current (as of 7 Jan 1999)
on my PC at work, a Dell "Dimension V350". Everything is great (at least
now that the ex driver is there!), except one minor annoyance: the
soundcard isn't configured. Here's how it probes:
Yamaha 724 Audio (audio multimedia, revision 0x04) at pci0 dev 12 function 0 not configured
Windoze claims its a "Yamaha DS-XG"; it seems to be on the motherboard
directly. The manual, such as it is, claims its a "PCI/ISA YAMAHA YMF724
DS-1 AC97-compliant advanced audio controller with 3D positioning and
DirectSound acceleration [providing] audio functions compatible with a Sound
Blaster Pro expansion card." Nothing in the BIOS seems at all helpful.
Is anyone at all familiar with this board/chip? Is there any way to entice it
into, say, soundblaster compatibility? Am I doomed to use my CD player at
work, instead of mpeg123? Such important questions!
Seriously, though, I'd appreciate any info, even "sorry, no go".
Thanks!
