Hi I am trying out FreeBSD on ZFS using the PC-BSD 8.2 installer. I have it installed on a Western Digital USB HDD connected to an Alienware m11x laptop. It seems to work well except that once in a while, any application performing a write freezes for a few seconds (around 15 or so) and looking at top shows their states to be in zio. Is this because it was installed on a USB drive?
I am trying to get sound working on the laptop. After starting snd_hda at boot, two devices are found and dmesg shows the following hdac0: <NVidia (Unknown) High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xf1000000-0xf1003fff irq 17 at device 0.1 on pci1 hdac0: HDA Driver Revision: 20100226_0142 hdac0: [ITHREAD] hdac1: <Intel 82801I High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xf1600000-0xf1603fff irq 22 at device 27.0 on pci0 hdac1: HDA Driver Revision: 20100226_0142 hdac1: [ITHREAD] hdac0: HDA Codec #0: NVidia (Unknown) hdac0: HDA Codec #1: NVidia (Unknown) hdac0: HDA Codec #2: NVidia (Unknown) hdac0: HDA Codec #3: NVidia (Unknown) pcm0: <HDA NVidia (Unknown) PCM #0 DisplayPort> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 pcm1: <HDA NVidia (Unknown) PCM #0 DisplayPort> at cad 1 nid 1 on hdac0 pcm2: <HDA NVidia (Unknown) PCM #0 DisplayPort> at cad 2 nid 1 on hdac0 pcm3: <HDA NVidia (Unknown) PCM #0 DisplayPort> at cad 3 nid 1 on hdac0 hdac1: HDA Codec #0: Realtek ALC665 pcm4: <HDA Realtek ALC665 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac1 pcm5: <HDA Realtek ALC665 PCM #1 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac1 I think the NVIDIA device is for the HDMI output, while the Realtek codec is for the normal audio. Under /dev, I can see six devices dsp0.0,dsp1.1,dsp2.1,dsp3.1,dsp4.0 and dsp5.1. I tried playing an mp3 file using mpg123 and gave each of these devices using the -a option, but none of them worked. The output tab under the GNOME sound preferences shows the devices dsp0, dsp1, dsp2, dsp3, dsp4 and dsp5. None of them seem to work either. Any ideas on how to get the wound working?
