Well, since you asked...
Since rebuilding -CURRENT with newpcm and newpnp about a month ago,
my soundcard, a Soundblaster AWE64, ISA PnP, will only play the first
second or less of a sound file. Audio apps often claim "unable to open /dev/dsp".
I notice that my modem, a Diamond SupraExpress 56i Sp, is now attaching
to irq 5, and the soundcard attaches to irq 9.
Previous to newpnp, I forced the modem (sio2) to irq 15 and the soundcard to
irq 5 via pnp commands in my /boot/kernel.conf. I did this because I had
found by experimentation that this was the only combination of the supposedly
available PnP configurations which enabled both devices to work.
Now that pnp attaches sio2 to irq 5, the soundcard refuses to work on irq9,
even though irq9 is available and supposedly valid for that card. So I'd
like to be able to get it to work on irq9 (preferably), but failing that,
at least try to return to my original PnP configuration to see if that works.
I don't know how to force this since the removal of pnp(4), though, and have
searched the mailing list archives to no avail.
I have tried configuring a kernel to force irq 5 on the soundcard
with no success.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My kernel config and other info is attached.
