Hi,

I have a Yamaha OPL3-SAx in an Dell Dimension running FBSD 3.2
release. I have not been able to make the system see the sound
card. I've tried several kernel configurations suggested in this ng
but none worked (pcm0 not found). However, I get some interesting
messages when the system is booting up. Using the following line in
the kernel configuration:

device pcm0 at isa? port? tty irq 5 drq 0 flags 0x11

I get from the PNP probe at booting:

THIS IS A YAMAHA SA3, BUT LDN 0 IS DISABLED

But later I get:

pcm0 not found

The card works fine in Windows 95 and the configuration from the
Device manager is:

YAMAHA OPL3-SAx

IO 0220 - 022F
IO 0530 - 0537
IO 0388 - 038F
IO 0330 - 0331
IO 0370 - 0371
IRQ 5

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a cheap ($11) soundcard that I tried to get working in my old
Digital box. The message I got was that I had an "OPTi 731, but LDN0 is
disabled". I poked blindly around the driver code until I convinced
myself that there was no way I was going to get it to work, and gave up
and dropped another $30 on a Creative Labs(TM) SoundBlaster 16, which
worked just fine. And actually, now that I think about it, even that
didn't work in FreeBSD 3.3, but worked fine in 3.4, which is what I had on
it until I sold it.

Ivan,

Sorry but, I don't have an answer for you. I have the same
card and have been unable to get it to work. If you find an
answer, please let me know it and I'll do likewise.

thanks
