Re: DVD

[William Dean DeVries]

   Maybe some program is starting a sound daemon, like esd or something.   
If you started gnome or kde or possible anything else this may be the  
case.  You should maybe use run 'ps aux' and see what is running when the  
sound doesn't work. If you have a sound daemon running it should be  
possible to make mplayer use it.
  You could try 'shutdown now'(it will quit all you programs) which will  
drop your system into single user mode after you mplayer's sound quits and  
then type 'exit'.  I never reboot unless I have to.  If the works after- 
wards its probably something using the sound device.  You really should't  
be using root for anything but maintenance(ie watching movie should  
probably be done as a user).

Here is the output from dmesg on my DVD

acd0: DVD-ROM IDE DVD-ROM 16X at ata1-master PIO4

Using FreeBSD 4.8

When I play a DVD with mplayer (usually with these options)

mplayer -brightness 9 -autosync 30 -dvd 1 /dev/dvd

I can play the DVD without ANY problems what so ever. The problem is
this. Say I just booted into FreeBSD, did a startx, loged into root and
ran mplayer with those options. It will play fine and no sound problem.
After a couple hours or so (using those same commands usually) I can
still play the DVD but no sound. If I reboot *AFTER* the sound problem
then I get the sound back. There are no other applications running at
the same time to block the audio so I don't know what it could be. Other
than this small problem, DVD is working pretty good so far for me under
FreeBSD.

Re: VT82C686/A/B AC'97 Audio Codec

[William Dean DeVries]

I would try to load the pcm module using kldload first. kldload  
snd_pcm will probably work.  If it says the file exist, it's alread in  
the kernel.  In 4.8, you need to make the device file in /dev still.   
You should read the section in the handbook on freebsd.org Setting Up  
the Sound Card.  I rebuilt my kernel to get mine to work, something  
else was trying or was using the irq my sound card need.  It was  
probably fixable by editing device.hints in /boot, but the default  
kernel has a lot of stuff in it you probably don't need.

 Hi!
 
 I have integrated via82c686 soundcard..  I am new to freebsd

sound
 card in Windows XP is shown as AC97 codec, and works well.
 
 Unfortunately, I have no luck with making it work under freebsd.
What I
 am trying to do is to load via82c686 driver..  it loads, but the
kernel
 does not writes any messages about detected card (it with CMI8xxx
card
 at home)..

 I only added 'device pcm' to the kernel, so kldload pcm should work
as root.

What do you mean by adding 'device pcm' to kernel? I have a kernel
that
comes with 4.8-STABLE, i did not recompile it.
grep pcm /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT shows two lines:
device  pcm0 at isa? irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0
device  pcm
I try to do 'kldload snd_pcm'.  Silence (the kernel is supposed to
write
something like PCM... on the first console, am I right?)
mpg123 fails, says can't open /dev/dsp

Also, I try to 'kldload snd_via82c686', no results..
