snd_hda peculiarities
I recently installed FreeBSD 8.0 (amd64) on my laptop (HP 8510w) and most things are working. However, a minor annoyance is that I only get sound if I manually load snd_hda via: # kldload snd_hda i.e., after booting. If I place the following in /boot/loader.conf snd_hda_load=YES I get no sound, even though the driver seems to load and cat /dev/sndstat gives -- FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64) Installed devices: pcm0: HDA Analog Devices AD1981HD PCM #0 Analog at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 kld snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex default) pcm1: HDA Analog Devices AD1981HD PCM #1 Digital at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 kld snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/0r:0v channels simplex) Googling, I found this page: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2009-June/035677.html Which reports precisely the behaviour I am experiencing.

Unfortunately, I am not at home to look at the exact solution but I know it involves setting the sound channel in sysctl.conf I think if you look in some of the relevant man apges, it might give you a hint. something like snd.channel = 1 or something similar. When I get home I will try and post the solution.

Mark Thanks to all for your valuable suggestions. It turns out that the problem was much simpler than I thought. When I kldload snd_hda I get two panes in Kmix, each called OSS Audio Mixer. One contains a whole bunch of channels, the other only two: Front and PCM. It turns out that the simpler pane (front and pcm) controls the volume when you issue a: # kldload snd_hda and this was naturally the pane that I was paying attention to, even when loading via /boot/loader.conf. When all suggestions failed, I turned my attention to the other pane and noticed that OGain was muted. I unmuted the OGain channel and now I have sound even when I load snd_hda via /boot/loader.conf (with hw.snd.default_unit=0, i.e. its default setting). However, in contrast to what happens when I do a kldload, when loading via /boot/loader.conf the other more detailed pane (containing the OGain control) now controls the volume. Thanks again to all and my apologies for not looking for the simplest solution first. -Richard ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
