I cannot for the life of me get sound to work on a toshiba libretto 100ct
running FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE. I am simply trying to get `mpg123` to play a
mp3 file, and I have not been successful.
I have this in my kernel config:
device pcm0 at isa? port 0x530 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0xc100
And I have not created any devices using MAKEDEV, since pcm is not in the
MAKEDEV script (so I can't make it even if I wanted to). Also I can `sh
MAKEDEV snd0` all day successfully, but the snd0 file never actually gets
created.
cat /dev/sndstat tells me:
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Feb 26 ...
Installed Devices:
pcm0: <OPL3-SAx (YMF719)> at io 0x530 irq 5 drq 1 (1p/1r/0v channels)
Finally, dmesg tells me that pcm0 is at irq 5, drq 1, etc.
-----
mpg123 some_song.mp3 results in:
/dev/dsp: Device busy
(repeated two more times)
/dev/audio: Device busy
I try again, and this time I am told: /kernel: pcm0: play interrupt
timeout, channel dead
I try again and I am told:
/dev/dsp: Device busy
audio: Device busy
esd: Esound daemon already running or stale UNIX socket /root/.esd/socket
This socket already exists indicating esd is already running
Please note that I do not have a /root/.esd directory, in fact I have a
/root/esd_auth directory. I tried creating a /root/.esd directory, and I
seem to get fewer errors - sometimes mpg123 runs without
complaining...BUT, I still don't get any sound ...
I know the speakers work because I hear my pcmcia beeps at boot.
Any suggestions appreciated - I know a lot of people out there use toshiba
librettos...someone must be successfully using sound...
thanks,
PT
