Actually yea now that I've had time to think about it, the cable that goes from the CD-Rom to the sound card is usually a 3 or 4 wire cable, like you see in head phones, so based on that fact it has to be analog already. What about the ones that have 2-pin digital audio out and what about direct digital playback (i.g. ripping)? The point is still mute though, you have to have at least a semi-functional sound card to get the mixer working. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Another sound question.
I've read the handbook and searched through /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES and found the list of snd_* drivers. I'm just not sure which one I should use. I have an Asus P4P800E-Deluxe. The website says the onboard audio is ALC850 CODEC which is AC' 97 compatible. Does anyone know which snd_* driver I should use. I know in 5.2.1 and down it just used device pcm and it worked. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Put these lines: sound_load=YES snd_driver_load=YES Into the file /boot/loader.conf and then reboot. after you reboot look at dmesg and see if it found/loaded any sound drivers you can do this by typing in dmesg at the console and using your scroll lock key to move up/down OR type in dmesg | grep pcm you should see a lines like this: pcm0: ESS 18xx DSP on sbc0, sbc0 is the driver it is using, now type in this dmesg | grep name_of_driver to make sure all of the sound stuff loaded. now put a music cd into your cd player and type in (as root) cdcontrol play if you hear something that sounds like music your good to go, add the name of the driver etc. to your kernel config file and recompile when convenient, just remember to comment out those lines in loader.conf. and, nevermind, im late for school ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try to play a PCM file or something instead. Yea kind, The sound card still has to convert the pcm data from the CD into music and output it to the speakers though, but you are correct in that it's a bad test because the audio cable on the back of the CD-Rom drive might not be connected to the sound card and if its not (s)he might not have digital playback enabled (can FreeBSD even do that?) but really it came down to the fact that I didn't have time to lookup another way to test it, late for school remember. I think there is a better way to test it in the FreeBSD handbook if anyone cares. LOL, Actually the handbook states the same thing I said: If all goes well, you should now have a functioning sound card. If your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is properly coupled to your sound card, you can put a CD in the drive and play it with cdcontrol(1) http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=cdcontrolsektion=1: %cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html I guess another way would be to compile mp3blaster, or what ever your fav. mp3 player is, from ports and test it with that. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sound question
hello I have a problem I somehow fixed once, but I can't remember how :-) sim-icq gives me the following message play: /dev/dsp: Device busy (it uses the play command for the sound plugin) it means that somehow the sound channel is used by other program (I have xmms running, and also enlightenment has the sounds option on), but only the play command doesn't run can I make play use other device ? which one ?

Re: sound question
play: /dev/dsp: Device busy Perhaps esd is running and grabbing the sound device? I have a similar problem with mpg123. Calling mpg123 multiple times (e.g. in a loop with a shell script) until it works is an acceptable work-around for me: #!/bin/sh until (mpg123 $1) do sleep 1; done Of course, a solution would be better than a work-arond :) -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: sound question
play: /dev/dsp: Device busy Perhaps esd is running and grabbing the sound device? 80418 ?? Ss 2:56.38 esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd so if I kill -9 the esd process, icq will start emitting sounds ? unfortunately no, it will just mute my xmms session 1. Who started esd? 'root' or a non-root user? (ps axu) 2. Try fiddling with esd's flags? (man esd) I don't have a solution, but it's obvious that esd is opening /dev/dsp, and some programs like xmms or other sound apps communicate directly with esd, e.g. with a unix socket. If your app uses /dev/dsp directly, it will fail, because esd has locked it for itself. When I run mpg123, esd runs with the following params: $ ps ax | grep esd 15939 ?? Rs 0:03.23 esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 5 It also opens this unix socket: $ sockstat | grep esd cpghost mpg123 159414 stream esd[15939]:10 cpghost esd 159396 stream (none) cpghost esd 159397 stream /tmp/.esd/socket cpghost esd 15939 10 stream /tmp/.esd/socket You could check the permissions of /tmp/.esd/socket Perhaps your sound app doesn't know how to use esd (you'll have to kill esd for this), or it knows, but can't, for some obscure reason.
