Yamaha OPL3-SAx sound?

Yamaha OPL3-SAx sound?

Post by Rasaki Bidemi Bolanle Temidir » Fri, 19 May 2000 04:00:00



Hi Everyone,

I am running FreeBSD-4.0-RELEASE.  I downloaded the ISO image, cut an image for myself
and installed it on my AMD K6-2 500 machine.  This is after running Linux for about 6 years.
I love it.  Everything the guy at work told me was true.  It is more stable and run a lot smoother.

The only problem that I am having thus far is getting my sound card to work.  I have a Yamaha
729 sound card.  It uses the OPL3-Sax chip.  In this news group, I read that I should use the
following line in my kernel configuration file:

        device          pcm0 at isa? irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0

I did that and recompile my kernel.  I did a "cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV snd0".  Then I rebooted my
workstation.  During the boot sequence, I got the following for the sound card:

pcm1: <Yamaha OPL-SAx> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x530-0x537,0x388-0x38b,0x330-0x331,0x370-0x371 irq 5 drq 0,1 on isa0
unknown0: <OPL3-SAX Sound Board> at port 0x201 on isa0

I tried to cat a sample sound file into the /dev/snd0 device only to find that it no longer
existed.  When I started GNOME or KDE, they both complained that they could not find
an audio device.

Ca anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how I could get around this problem?

Thanks in advance.

When you do the MAKEDEV snd0 it creates /dev/audio and /dev/dsp. Try to cat to
/dev/dsp. If it works, it remains to configure kde to the correct devices.
It could be necessary to MAKEDEV snd1 and appropriately modify symbolic links.

1. Yamaha OPL3-SAX sound card...

Folks,

   I"ve got a Yamaha OPL3-SAx PNP sound card that I *cannot* get
configured to work properly.  I'm using a slightly updated version of
RedHat 4.1, isapnptools-1.11, and the 2.0.27 kernel on a dual PPro 180
system.  The motherboard is a Tyan 1668D and the rest of the hardware
seems to be working properly.  Has *anyone* gotten a working
isapnp.conf/kernel configuration for this card?  I've been browsing
DejaNews, the Web, and the ISAPNPTOOLS page for the past 6 hours trying
to figure this out.  The documentation for how to set up an isapnp.conf
file is confusing, to say the least.  If anyone else has managed to get
it to work, I'd love to know how.

  In case you're curious, the rest of the system includes:

1 2.1 GB Seagate EIDE Disk
1 3.2 GB Quantum Ultra-ATA
1 Matrix Mystique 220 w/4 MB
1 TEAC floppy drive
1 HP Colorado T3000 tape drive
1 6X Mitsumi CD-ROM drive

   Other than the sound, it's a great system -- fast as hell, too.
Can't wait to overclock the thing...

regards,
Jim Wiggs
