Audio problem

Hi!

I tried using of that card with pnpdump and isapnp.

After pnpdump > pnp.cfg I edited pnp.cfg.
What kind of suggestions someone knows for editing that file?

parts of pnp.cfg:

Trying port address 0203

Board 1 has serial identifier d7 ff ff ff ff 03 00 73 16

(DEBUG)

(READPORT 0x0203)
(ISOLATE)
(IDENTIFY *)

Card 1: (serial identifier d7 ff ff ff ff 03 00 73 16)

ESS0003 Serial No -1 [checksum d7]

Version 1.0, Vendor version 1.0

ANSI string -->ESS ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive<–

Logical device id ESS0006


(CONFIGURE ESS0003/-1 (LD 1
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 1))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 0))
(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
(IO 0 (BASE 0x0220))
(IO 1 (BASE 0x0388))
(IO 2 (BASE 0x0300))
(ACT Y)
))

With “isapnp pnp.cfg” I get: Board 1 has Identity d7 ff ff ff ff 03 00 73
16: ESS0003 Serial No 4294967295 [checksum d7]
Audio sb returned nothing text… Is it OK?
After Audio command their came noise from speakers.

I tried to test with vplay from /usr/demo/src/audio/
It returned:
play: open /dev/dsp failed Resource busy

What went wrong???
I’m using ESS1869 chip sound card (Crystal-MM-HP).
By the way. what this SB compatibility means with QNX?

Hello Mikko,

I’ve read your message in qnx4 public user group. How finally did you
manage this Pc104 card.
We, actually, have same kind of problem with the Pc104 board
Crystal-MM-HP from diamonds Systems under QNX4.25.
This board is based on ESS1869 AudioDrive chip.
We are able to load generic driver by command : “Audio -sb -d220 -i11
-d0,1”
and the card is detected, the /dev/dsp is created.
Anyway, when we want to launch some *.wav files (8-bit wav files), just
a noisy sound is audible and not correct
sound at all, with command: "vplay *.wav ".
Same behaviour with cat *.wav >/dev/dsp

Moreover the installation works since it works under DOS.

So, we’ve just downloaded the alsa 0.2 audio driver binaries.
To load the driver, we tape :
deva-sb -p220 -i11 -d0,1
And under /dev, we have the following new devices :
midi00
mixer00
pcm00 sndctl00

Then, we try to play a wave file, using aplay :
aplay filename.wav
The out is :
Aplay : version 0.0.8 by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@jcu.cz>
Error : audio open error : Ressource busy

We’ve tried a lot of things but nothing goes right…

Did you finally succed in having your board functionning with QNX4.25 ?
Did you switch to another PC104 board ?

Any help on the problem would be appreciate.
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Ghislaine RE

Hello Mikko,

Can you just tell me if you finally get this card working.
We actually (from 2 months now) trying different tests on this PC104
Audio card without success.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Ghislaine RE
