- Greetings once again!
-
- First off, many compliments to Linux, HJ, and others for an awsome
- system!
-
- I have a question about the new (alpha 4) sound driver, which I have
- installed according to the instructions in the included Readmes and
- compiled into the new 0.99 kernel.
-
- It detects my PAS-16 on bootup, as well as the adlib-compatible chip.
- I can listen to music piped in from line-in immediately after bootup, but
- when I try to run splay <soundfile>, the sound file plays for a second or
- two and stops, and the program hangs. Putting splay in the background
- with ^Z, then bringing it to the fg again gives me the following message:
-
- root@Ischade ( /usr/local/audio )# splay endoftheworld
- Speed 8007 Hz (mono)
-
- [1]+ Stopped splay endoftheworld
- root@Ischade ( /usr/local/audio )# fg
- splay endoftheworld
- /dev/dsp: I/O error
-
- Similarly, when attempting to play a .mod file with str[15|32] i get:
-
- root@Ischade ( /usr/local/audio/tracks32 )# str32 apc.mod
- Playback speed 44191 Hz (stereo) 8 bits/sample.
- [ ... ]
- [1]+ Stopped str32 apc.mod
- root@Ischade ( /usr/local/audio/tracks32 )# fg
- str32 apc.mod
- audio_write: I/O error
-
- I do not know if it is relivent, but when I compile the kernel with
- -DDSP_BUFFSIZE=65536 (as suggested in the comment preceeding that line
- for a PAS-16), I get on bootup a message to the effect that "DMA at
- address xxx not regognized/denied, yyyy bytes of memory unusable."
-
- My solution was to set -DDSP_BUFFSIZE=16384, which got rid of that
- message.
-
- My kernel configuration is:
- math emulation OFF
- normal hd support ON
- tcp/ip ON
- kernel profiling OFF
- limit memory to 16MB (ON|OFF) - I've tried both...
- SCSI support ON
- (adaptec 1542 only, all others off)
- SCSI disk, tape, CDROM ON
- all filesystems supported
- Autoconfigure serial IRQ (ON|OFF) - again, I've tried both ...
-
- If anyone could offer some insight into what is going on, why this
- might be happening, and how I could fix it, I would be extremely
- greatful.
-
- For what it is worth, my card works flawlessly under MS-DOG.
-
- Many thanx in advance!
-
- Jean.
