Re: Issues with new soundcard
Okay, I've almost got this sound issue figured out. I am able to get my volume back by unloading and reloading snd_ich. However, any time I restart X, there is no volume again. I can't figure out what in the hell X has to do with my sound driver. It occured to be that artsd might have something to do with it, but if I disable and reenable artsd, I still have volume, whereas if I disable it (still having volume) and then restart X, I lose volume. Again, my main and pcm volumes are turned up, so I don't really know what it's doing. Does anyone have any clues before I file a bug report? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Issues with new soundcard
I just got a new motherboard (Tyan S2895) with a soundcard built in. I really don't have any choice at the time but to use that soundcard since there isn't a free PCI slot for my old one. The card is detected by the module snd_ich and I can play music and adjust the mixer with no errors, but there is simply no volume whatsoever. I've checked to make sure my sound system was connected properly and that both the main and pcm volumes were turned up. The card is enabled in the CMOS. I've ran out of ideas. I'm running FreeBSD 6 stable updated just today. Here's the output from cat /dev/sndstat. FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: nVidia nForce4 at io 0x1800, 0x1400 irq 22 bufsz 16384 kld snd_ich (1p/1r/4v channels duplex default) I appreciate any help. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Most new motherboards come with the option of front panel sound, in which case the sound loops through the front panel connector. If you're not using front panel sound you probably need jumpers on the motherboard. Your manual should tell you about this. I ran into a similar problem with another motherboard a few weeks ago.

The motherboard already has jumpers on the pins specified in the manual. That was a good idea that hadn't occured to me though. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
