It would be vey nice to get this very neat bit of software going. Following a reply from Gabi Diaz(?) who suggested that the Ensoniq es1371 was not supported, I dug up an oldish SB16 card but have still had no success. From earlier postings, I've tried audio0=type=sb16 port=0x220 (as well as audio1, type=ess1688 and various other ports) in plan9.ini, and have run bind '#A' /dev. Following a (Dec 2000, so maybe out of date) posting from Russ Cox, I didn't enter irq or dma; even more variables to get wrong). As I mentioned earlier, everything works except I get no sound. I get the track title OK from the server. Using some of these ports produces other errors, as I would expect. Russ Cox's posting mentioned a program, tsb.c, a soundblaster probe, but it's no longer around, at least where it used to be. John ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

A 'ctl'-file is called 'volume'. But I like audioctl more, too :) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

With type=ess1688, #A will drive ESS 1688 and compatible cards. No other sound cards are supported by #A, so nowadays people seem to be using USB audio devices via usbaudio in usb(4). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

SB16 works, but AC97-cards (the ensoniq-chip is ac97) don't. Likely to change because I am an audiophile and will start to work on drivers some day. ;) > From earlier postings, I've tried > audio0=type=sb16 port=0x220 (as well as audio1, type=ess1688 and various > other ports) in plan9.ini, and have run bind '#A' /dev. I have this one in my plan9.ini. I typed those values in from memory, I was 'passivly' using computers when ISA was in, so I never really got how to find these numbers out without trial-and-error methods: audio0=type=sb16 port=0x220 irq=7 dma=5 (it is the only ISA-card on a two ISA-slot board, if that matters (probably doesn't)). Note two things: 1.) After this is in your plan9.ini, the kernel/driver will know what to do. You will still have to bind the file-system provided by the audio-driver into your namespace - that is bind -a '#A' /dev ... 2.) You are new to Plan9? Did you yet notice that there are private namespaces? That means if you open a window, and bind #A into your namespace, just that client (and childs) will see /dev/audio.. if you look in window2, you will not see /dev/audio in there until you bind it there, too (or, you put the bind 'up one layer', so bind #A before rio starts. Or, in acme, execute "Local bind -a '#A' /dev" (see Local in acme(1)). But I am pretty sure gdiaz is right that 'acd', however where it is ;), as a cd-player (it apperently is), will just command the ATAPI-drive to start/stop playing. I do not know if you can change the volume from software, maybe check for that. Mfg, Sascha ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
