Kernel config is attached, and vmstat -i gives Sorry, I got late into this thread and lost your first post. 1st: when having this kind of kernel problems it is good practice to go back and try the GENERIC kernel configuration. Then we all know what you are talking about, once the problem is solved you can try to tune it. 2nd: kldload sound may not load the driver you need - now I didn't see your first post so I don't know if you identified the correct driver. Anyway, you can try the snd_ modules one by one. 3rd: Long ago, a common mistake was not to turn up the volume (yeah, I know it's silly). Try using mixer. Still out of luck? If you use the GENERIC kernel, then show us output of: # kldstat # sysctl -a|grep snd Hope this helps, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: www.locolomo.org S/MIME Certificate: www.daemonsecurity.com/ca/8D03551FFCE04F06.crt Subject ID: 9E:AA:18:E6:94:7A:91:44:0A:E4:DD:87:73:7F:4E:82:E7:08:9C:72 Fingerprint: 5B:D5:1E:3E:47:E7:EC:1C:4C:C8:3A:19:CC:AE:14:F5:DF:18:0F:B9 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

sound on Compaq Presario (and kernel question)
Trying to get the sound to work on my Compaq Presario M2000. With version 5.4 everything worked fine except sound and ACPI. After looking at http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ I had the impression that I could get the sound to work by applying the provided patch, but that it should work without extra tricks if I upgraded to version 6 of the kernel. Well, I didn't succeed with the patch, but since I didn't think sound so important I let it be for the moment. Later I decided to upgrade anyway, and now I return to the sound problem. Now uname -a gives: FreeBSD possession 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0: Thu Mar 9 20:27:08 CET 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL2 i386 Here I must ask what PRERELEASE actually means. It's not in the handbook as far as I can see. This is the message I get when starting KDE, unchanged since before the kernel upgrade: Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. When I do kldload snd_driver the following message appears on the console: pcm0: ATI IXP 400 mem 0xc0003400-0xc00034ff irq 17 at device 20.5 on pci0 pcm0: WARNING: timeout during codec detection; codecs might be present but haven't interrupted What does this mean? It seems to find the right module, but it still doesn't work and I don't understand the message. Now, according to instructions I also run the following: possession# pciconf -lv | grep -B 4 audio subclass = PCI-PCI [EMAIL PROTECTED]:20:5: class=0x040100 card=0x3091103c chip=0x43701002 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc' class= multimedia subclass = audio possession# sysctl hw.snd.verbose=2 hw.snd.verbose: 1 - 2 possession# cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: possession# sysctl hw.snd hw.snd.report_soft_formats: 1 hw.snd.targetirqrate: 32 hw.snd.verbose: 2 hw.snd.maxautovchans: 0 hw.snd.unit: 0 possession# /usr/sbin/mixer mixer: /dev/mixer: No such file or directory And by the way I got another problem as well. After upgrading the kernel I had a strange crash where the screen turned white (actually grey with some vague patterns) and I could do nothing except turning off the power. Could not contact the computer from outside, it was really dead. It only happened once, but I would like to know why -- or if anyone else has seen a similar behaviour. Lots of questionmarks here. I will greatly appreciate to get some of them straightened out. /wokka -- Doktorand, Institutionen för kärn- och partikelfysik Uppsala universitet http://www3.tsl.uu.se/~akesson/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
