Re: FBSD 8.2R does not probe sound card
Hi JR, guacl@bsdhost:~% tail -n 1 /etc/sysctl.conf hw.snd.default_unit=0 This is fine, but 0 is the default value, so you don't actually need this. You only need it for value of 1, 2, 3... Alright so I can now forget this file. /boot/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf.local are used together. I suggest you leave loader.conf as installed by the system, and place all your config in loader.conf.local, although that is not so important. Sorry, /boot/loader.conf was blank right after installation. But it doesn't matter anyway. You need to get the programming so that it shows: pcm0: HDA Realtek ALC662 PCM #0 Analog (play/rec) default or perhaps like mine: pcm0: HDA Realtek ALC268 PCM #0 Analog at cad 3 nid 1 on hdac0 kld snd_hda (1p:6v/1r:1v) default in this one, 1p=1play, 6v=6voices=6channels (5.1 sound); 1r=1rec with 1channel. hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid21.config=as=1 seq=0 # pcm0 out hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid22.config=as=2 seq=0 # pcm1 out hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid28.config=as=3 seq=0 # pcm2 out hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid30.config=as=4 seq=0 # pcm3 out hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid24.config=as=5 seq=0 # \ hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid25.config=as=5 seq=1 # pcm0 in hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid26.config=as=5 seq=15 # / Then you can play with output to /dev/dsp0.X etc to see if any work. I have already put them in /boot/loader.conf.local. guacl@bsdhost:~% mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer mix is currently set to 0:0 Mixer rec is currently set to 75:75 Mixer igainis currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogainis currently set to 50:50 Mixer monitor is currently set to 75:75 Recording source: mic guacl@bsdhost:~% cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: HDA Realtek ALC662 PCM #0 Analog (play/rec) default pcm1: HDA ATI R6xx HDMI PCM #0 HDMI (play) Yes, pcm0 is now what we are expecting. Now I can hear sound from the speakers via /dev/dsp0.X using C code fprintf(dsp, %c%c%c, 7, 7, 7); (I'm only on console.) But how can I hear the sound without redirecting to /dev/dsp? This area is VERY FAR from my knowledge. I think I must completely read sound(4) and snd_hda(4).

Re: FBSD 8.2R does not probe sound card
Hi, So you need to reprogram your HDAC. You have four speaker possibilities, nids 21, 22, 28 and 30. I can't tell which one is the one you want, so you'll need to try all four until you find it. Use config in your /boot/loader.conf.local like this: Correction... Your output association is as=1. So you want: hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid21.config=as=1 seq=0 hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid27.config=as=1 seq=15 # cat /boot/loader.conf.local hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid30.config=as=1 seq=0 device=Speaker conn=Fixed hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid27.config=as=1 seq=15 I have tried with and without ``device=Speaker conn=Fixed'', for all nid21, 22, 28 and 30 (reboot 8 times). And each time mixer(8) does not mute the speaker. But the speakers are still quiet. Please do not suspect my speakers, they work well on win7 on the other partition/slice. Thank you very much. -- Gua Chung Lim Please help donate to Japan. -- for earthquake, tsunami and nuclear radiation reliefs (2011) ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: FBSD 8.2R does not probe sound card
Hi, Thank you very much for your kind response. The reprogramming I gave you was for pcm0. Your pcm1 is showing with the HDMI digital chip pins. Make sure that your cat /dev/sndstat is showing pcm0 as default. (Use the sysctl hw.snd.default_unit to set it.) Previously my sysctl hw.snd.default_unit was 1. So its default was set to pcm1. Therefore I change it to 0. By the way my configuration files got changed from time to time for each suggestion I received. So I would summarize my current config as follows. guacl@bsdhost:~% tail -n 1 /etc/sysctl.conf hw.snd.default_unit=0 guacl@bsdhost:~% cat /boot/loader.conf atapicam_load=YES snd_hda_load=YES guacl@bsdhost:~% cat /boot/loader.conf.local hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid30.config=as=1 seq=0 device=Speaker conn=Fixed hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid27.config=as=1 seq=15 (I have tried nid21, 22, 28 and 30.) From my current configurations, my speakers are still quiet. mixer(8) does not even show speaker or volume guacl@bsdhost:~% mixer Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer rec is currently set to 75:75 Mixer monitor is currently set to 75:75 Recording source: mic Anythings divert from your suggestion, please tell me. Also, I am guessing from your verbose info that pcm0 also shows Analog and play too? You need these for the speaker output. If you, in fact, have pcm0, pcm1 on Analog and then a pcm2 on HDMI, we will need to try other settings. Or if pcm0 does not show play by it. Perhaps send me the /dev/sndstat info if it is not pcm0: Analog...play and pcm1: HDMI. guacl@bsdhost:~% cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: HDA Realtek ALC662 PCM #0 Analog (rec) default pcm1: HDA ATI R6xx HDMI PCM #0 HDMI (play) No, pcm0 shows Analog but pcm1 shows play. You might also want to try explicitly adding statements to program your input device. I notice that in your verbose info, your output devices are listed on the input association. Try this: hint.hdac.0.cad0.nidXX.config=as=1 seq=0 hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid27.config=as=1 seq=15 hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid24.config=as=3 seq=0 hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid25.config=as=3 seq=1 hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid26.config=as=3 seq=15 Shall I fix pcm first, then try this later? I think that I tried reboot 30 times for the last couple days. :-( Thank you very much. -- Gua Chung Lim Please help donate to Japan. -- for earthquake, tsunami and nuclear radiation reliefs (2011) ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: FBSD 8.2R does not probe sound card
Thanks for responses from you all. suggestion here is to play with the sysctl hw.snd.default_unit: $ sysctl -d hw.snd.default_unit hw.snd.default_unit: default sound device It defaults to 0, try 1-5 and see if there is any improvement, as you have multiple sound output devices. Because you're not thinking about the order of operation correctly. 1) The system boots up, with no knowledge of snd_driver 2) It tries to set hw.snd.default_unit=1, which fails (changes nothing) because that's a sysctl registered with snd_driver which isn't loaded yet 3) You manually kldload snd_driver, which pulls in the driver-level sysctl default of 0 for hw.snd.default_unit. 4) You then wonder why hw.snd.default_unit isn't 1. Please add snd_hda_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf, you won't need to kldload manually. So my current procedure is as follows. /boot/loader.conf snd_hda_load=YES /etc/sysctl.conf hw.snd.default_unit=1 # shutdown -r now (after reboot) # sysctl -d hw.snd.default_unit hw.snd.default_unit: default sound device # sysctl hw.snd.default_unit hw.snd.default_unit: 1 I can only set it to 1. But the speakers are still quiet. If I set it to 2+, it says. /etc/rc: WARNING: unable to set hw.snd.default_unit=[2+] miibus0: mii_mediachg: can't handle non-zero PHY instance 31 miibus0: mii_mediachg: can't handle non-zero PHY instance 30 miibus0: mii_mediachg: can't handle non-zero PHY instance 29 ... miibus0: mii_mediachg: can't handle non-zero PHY instance 1 Since you have an HDAC audio controller, which is a programmable controller, my guess is that your computer's default programming is not to the proper speakers. I've had this problem in the past. The solution involves booting in verbose mode which will provide you a dump of the HDAC mapping in your syslog. You can use that info to see what the pin mappings are. You will need to add a bunch of lines like: hint.hdac.0.cad3.nid20.config=as=1 seq=0 to your /boot/loader.conf.local in order to remap things the way It seems likely. they should be. You'll probably need at least two such mappings, maybe four to remap the mic input, too. Details are in snd_hda(4). snd_hda(4) is big. I'm sorry. I have no idea, which one related to my sound card. If you believe this is the trouble, but you are stuck with the syntax, send me the verbose boot output section that looks like this: # Processing audio FG cad=3 nid=1... # GPIO: 0x4004 NumGPIO=4 NumGPO=0 NumGPI=0 GPIWake=0 GPIUnsol=1 Please see the attached verbose.txt.

Re: FBSD 8.2R does not probe sound card
Hi, The info you attached below shows your problem. First, read the association list at the bottom. You have two associations, 0 for output and 1 for input. Look at the output association 0. It shows the output is mapped to nid 20 seq 0 and then nid 27 seq 15. The seq tells you what it will use. It will start at seq=0 then seq=1 then seq=2 etc, but seq=15 is special which means to use that if there's something connected to the jack. So yours will use nid 20 normally or nid 27 if there's something connected to the jack. Now look at the nids in the main list, AFTER where it says Patched. You see nid 20 is Line-out and nid 27 is Headphones. So, nid 27 is OK (you want it to use the headphones if they are connected to the jack), but nid 20 is not - nid 20 is your Line-out and you want to use Speakers. But all the Speaker nids are [DISABLED]. So you need to reprogram your HDAC. You have four speaker possibilities, nids 21, 22, 28 and 30. I can't tell which one is the one you want, so you'll need to try all four until you find it. Use config in your /boot/loader.conf.local like this: hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid21.config=as=0 seq=0 hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid27.config=as=0 seq=15 Reboot and see if that works. If not, replace the 21 with each of 22, 28 and 30 and try again. If you use verbose boot again, you will see the Patched nid list and you can verify that the speaker nid is not [DISABLED]. One thing puzzles me about your list. All your speakers have a location of None. Normally, you'd expect one to have location of Fixed and that would be the built-in speaker. Since you can't tell here which is your built-in speaker, try all four and hope you find it. If none of the four work, you could try again explicitly setting the location: hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid21.config=as=0 seq=0 device=Speaker conn=Fixed to see if that helps. Note that if there is already configuration in either loader.conf.local or loader.conf for hint.hdac you should comment that out first. Also, be sure to run mixer each time to make sure that both the vol and the pcm are turned up when you test. Otherwise you won't hear anything. Your input side, association 1, is set to nid 24, 25 or 26 which are all Mic and Line-in, so probably OK. But if the mic doesn't work as expected, you can try changing these around, too. -jr On Sat, 19 Mar 2011 21:41:53 +0700, Gua Chung Lim gua.chung...@gmail.com wrote: hdac0: Processing audio FG cad=0 nid=1... hdac0: GPIO: 0x4002 NumGPIO=2 NumGPO=0 NumGPI=0 GPIWake=0 GPIUnsol=1 hdac0: nid 20 0x01014010 as 1 seq 0 Line-out Jack jack 1 loc 1 color Green misc 0 hdac0: nid 21 0x41f0 as 15 seq 0 Speaker None jack 1 loc 1 color Black misc 1 hdac0: nid 22 0x41f0 as 15 seq 0 Speaker None jack 1 loc 1 color Black misc 1 hdac0: nid 24 0x01a19830 as 3 seq 0 Mic Jack jack 1 loc 1 colorPink misc 8 hdac0: nid 25 0x02a19831 as 3 seq 1 Mic Jack jack 1 loc 2 colorPink misc 8 hdac0: nid 26 0x0181303f as 3 seq 15 Line-in Jack jack 1 loc 1 colorBlue misc 0 hdac0: nid 27 0x0221401f as 1 seq 15Headphones Jack jack 1 loc 2 color Green misc 0 hdac0: nid 28 0x41f0 as 15 seq 0 Speaker None jack 1 loc 1 color Black misc 1 hdac0: nid 29 0x4004c601 as 0 seq 1 Line-out None jack 4 loc 0 color Res.C misc 6 hdac0: nid 30 0x41f0 as 15 seq 0 Speaker None jack 1 loc 1 color Black misc 1 hdac0: Patched pins configuration: hdac0: nid 20 0x01014010 as 1 seq 0 Line-out Jack jack 1 loc 1 color Green misc 0 hdac0: nid 21 0x41f0 as 15 seq 0 Speaker None jack 1 loc 1 color Black misc 1 [DISABLED] hdac0: nid 22 0x41f0 as 15 seq 0 Speaker None jack 1 loc 1 color Black misc 1 [DISABLED] hdac0: nid 24 0x01a19830 as 3 seq 0 Mic Jack jack 1 loc 1 colorPink misc 8 hdac0: nid 25 0x02a19831 as 3 seq 1 Mic Jack jack 1 loc 2 colorPink misc 8 hdac0: nid 26 0x0181303f as 3 seq 15 Line-in Jack jack 1 loc 1 colorBlue misc 0 hdac0: nid 27 0x0221401f as 1 seq 15Headphones Jack jack 1 loc 2 color Green misc 0 hdac0: nid 28 0x41f0 as 15 seq 0 Speaker None jack 1 loc 1 color Black misc 1 [DISABLED] hdac0: nid 29 0x4004c601 as 0 seq 1 Line-out None jack 4 loc 0 color Res.C misc 6 [DISABLED] hdac0: nid 30 0x41f0 as 15 seq 0 Speaker None jack 1 loc 1 color Black misc 1 [DISABLED] hdac0: 2 associations found: hdac0: Association 0 (1) out: hdac0: Pin nid=20 seq=0 hdac0: Pin nid=27 seq=15 hdac0: Association 1 (3) in: hdac0: Pin nid=24 seq=0 hdac0: Pin nid=25 seq=1 hdac0: Pin nid=26 seq=15 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I check sound card properties with Win7 (on another partition/slice). It says ``High Definition Audio Device'' and nothing else.

Anyone who has a clue or experieces this problem, please point me out. It looks like your card is getting probed in both cases, unless you have an additional device that is not being listed. The pcm0 device above looks to be from onboard sound on your nvidia motherboard, while the pcm1 device is the HDMI audio output on your graphics card. My only suggestion here is to play with the sysctl hw.snd.default_unit: $ sysctl -d hw.snd.default_unit hw.snd.default_unit: default sound device It defaults to 0, try 1-5 and see if there is any improvement, as you have multiple sound output devices. What programs are you using to test the sound output? ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
