I pulled the SB Live! card out and enabled the on-board sound in the BIOS, to see if doing a kldload snd_driver would recognize *that*. It doesn't.The on-board sound shows up like this in pciconf -l -v: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:16:1: class=0x040300 card=0x2a3e103c chip=0x026c10de rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation' class = multimedia kldload snd_driver followed by cat /dev/sndstat yields: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: just like before. :( --------------------------- Information I can glean from looking at the SoundBlaster card: On the board: Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit Model: SB0410 On the chips: Creative CA0106-DAT LF (c) Creative Tech '02 C0524 KD692 Cirrus Logic CS4382-KQZ WAEXAR0452 WM WM8775SEDS 4AAADOG Everything else on there seems to be simple resistors, caps, and maybe a mosfet or three. Changing emu10k1.c so that the definition of EMU10K1_PCI_ID matches what pciconf -l -v found gets the module to recognize that there's a card there, and then it pukes on the ac97 stuff (which confuses me since this card claims to be ac97 compliant and the Cirrus chips is there ...) pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> port 0xcf00-0xcf1f irq 18 at device 10.0 on pci3 pcm0: AC97 reset timed out. pcm0: ac97 codec invalid or not present (id == 0) device_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6 Looking through sound/pcm/ac97.c I can see that the reset() function is failing, and the id = line in the ac97_initmixer() function isn't recognizing the chip on the board. I got a SoundBlaster Live! because it was listed as a known working piece of hardware. Apparently this is a newer version of the board that isn't supported yet. Getting it to work is becoming a PITA beyond what I have the time and willpower to put in right now. Is there a piece of sound hardware I can just run down to CompUSA and buy, that I can drop in here and get this thing working with *today*?
Newer Audigy's use a completely different DSP chip then the older SoundBlasters. The SoundBlaster brand is so vague now with regard to the actual chips that it's misleading. The el cheapo CompUSA brand card is iirc a very old and generic chip, it's not the best quality wise but when I bought them months ago they seemed to work with everything I threw at them. In all honesty I don't remember testing them with FreeBSD, but it works out of the box with BeOS R5, so I'd assume FreeBSD comes with the driver. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
