FM801-AU Soundcard Problem
On FreeBSD 7.2-Release I can't get this card working. I thought the snd_fm801 driver should work with this card but I doesn't seem like it will.

Soundcard problem
After switching from FreeBSD 7.0 release to stable I have had a big soundproblem. When compiling a kernel as I used to with device sound and device snd_emu10Kx as options I now get an error saying mixer is not configured etc.And no sound at all. Have tried several mixers to but to no avail, I do not understand the problem enough to correct it. Googling doesn`t help as no one reports the same error with audigy soundcards. If I compile a kernel without the snd_emu10kx device sound works partially, sometimes playing ok, and then often sounding like an alien attacking ( digital noise of the horrible kind) Sooner or later the system locks down after playing about 5 songs with normal sound forcing me to hard switch the system off.. I find this extremely annoying. Does anybody have a clue ? I am not sure which output you`d want me to provide for this so instead of pasting every output I know I thought to ask first... I haven`t reversed my system to 7.0 release so that could maybe fix it, but I was hoping to stay with 7.1 :) Thanx for listening.

Also, output of `cat /dev/sndstat` and perhaps a listing thus: ls -l /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer for starters.

What is a recommended soundcard for FreeBSD?
Because of the problems with my onboard Intel HDA audio chip I plan to buy a soundcard that is supported by FreeBSD. Question is which soundcard has great quality, comes with hardware mixing and is (natively) supported by FreeBSD? The Creative X-fi cards fits in this profile and I see that they are supported by FreeBSD. Who has experience with these cards in FreeBSD? Are they 100% supported? Are there any alternatives?

Recommandation for supported high quality soundcard FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT/AMD64
Months ago I was looking for a replecement sound card for my onboard ALC97 sound and therefore I purchased a Creative Soundblaster Audigy SE in hope this is supported by the snd_emu10k[x] driver as its name suggested. But it was an great err. Now I'm looking for an adequate replacement for even this soundcard and followed several dicussions about the problematic prevention for open source development by Creative and other companies keeping their data sheets closed. I read something about envy24-based soundcards which are said to be as good as Creative's X-Fi type soundcards but for half of the price. To make my desire short in words: Can you please recommend some envy24 based good or better quality (not the best high-end HiFi) soundcard which has an opensource support, even in FreeBSD? Here in Germany I find only brands like Creative and TerraTec with adequate 7.1 capable soundcards. I would like to purchase a sound card which has native FreeBSD driver.

soundcard optimize
Running FreeBSD-6.0 on an older AMD duron800 (512Mb). Sometimes the sound stutters. It's an older soundcard (es137x / SB PCI 128) I *know* the sound support is much better in FreeBSD-6.1 but I can't update yet (production server). So I wonder, are there sysctl setttings that will improve the sound support in fbsd-6.0 that I can set? -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 6.1 ++ The Power to Serve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can use this: http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/utils/pcilattimer .. to avoid cryptic nature of pciconf(8) (it is just a wrapper to pciconf, by the way). 3) Use SCHED_ULE .. wait, that is production server ;) -- Ariff Abdullah FreeBSD pgpDfM6Y0Rd75.pgp Description: PGP signature
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!?

Sweex 5.1 soundcard-troiubles
Hi all, I asked this question on freebsd-multimedia at first, but I think that was the wrong list to ask. So I'm asking it here again, if you don't mind. As a side note: I´m not subscribed to the list, so you might want to CC me. Thanks. I just bought a Sweex 5.1 soundcard since my onboard-sound was a horrible disaster (5.1 channels, but only two available, and the volume could not be set except for on and off). The new card was cheap, so that can cause the problem I have now :) The card has an C-Media chip on it (C3DX, CMI8738) but is not detected by snd_cmi. Apparently, from what I read round and about, the CMI8738 should work like a charm on FreeBSD with snd_cmi loaded (which is partly why I bought it in the first place... apart from the money). Does anyone has any idea as to what to do to trace the problem? All I know is pciconf, which doesn't do me any good... It doesn't even show the darn thing. My guess is that I should set the IRQ and I/O settings right, but how do I get the right values for that? I tried installing the card on an obsolete Windows-installation, but got no luck there either (which has to do with the fact that the installation isn't aware of sound anymore due to something NVidia did. Or whatever). I know the card should more or less work though (new hardware found on Windows), but I still do not know which IRQ / I/O to use. And how do I define that? Is that hint.snd or hint.pcm these days? For the record: here are some outputs which might be of help: $ pciconf -l -v [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0:class=0x06 card=0x31891849 chip=0x31891106 rev=0x80 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT8377 Apollo KT400/A/600 CPU to PCI Bridge' class= bridge subclass = HOST-PCI [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:0: class=0x060400 card=0x0080 chip=0xb1981106 rev=0x00 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'ProSavageDDR P4X600 CPU to AGP Bridge' class= bridge subclass = PCI-PCI [EMAIL PROTECTED]:16:0:class=0x0c0300 card=0x30381849 chip=0x30381106 rev=0x80 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT82x UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (All VIA Chipsets)' class= serial bus subclass = USB [EMAIL PROTECTED]:16:1:class=0x0c0300 card=0x30381849 chip=0x30381106 rev=0x80 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT82x UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (All VIA Chipsets)' class= serial bus subclass = USB [EMAIL PROTECTED]:16:2:class=0x0c0300 card=0x30381849 chip=0x30381106 rev=0x80 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT82x UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (All VIA Chipsets)' class= serial bus subclass = USB [EMAIL PROTECTED]:16:3:class=0x0c0320 card=0x31041849 chip=0x31041106 rev=0x82 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT6202 USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller' class= serial bus subclass = USB [EMAIL PROTECTED]:17:0:class=0x060100 card=0x31771849 chip=0x31771106 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT8235 PCI to ISA Bridge' class= bridge subclass = PCI-ISA [EMAIL PROTECTED]:17:1: class=0x01018a card=0x05711849 chip=0x05711106 rev=0x06 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT82 EIDE Controller (All VIA Chipsets)' class= mass storage subclass = ATA [EMAIL PROTECTED]:17:5: class=0x040100 card=0x97611849 chip=0x30591106 rev=0x50 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT8233/33A/8235/8237 AC97 Enhanced Audio Controller' class= multimedia subclass = audio [EMAIL PROTECTED]:18:0: class=0x02 card=0x30651849 chip=0x30651106 rev=0x74 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT6102 Rhine II PCI Fast Ethernet Controller' class= network subclass = ethernet [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x03 card=0x chip=0x018510de rev=0xc1 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation' device = 'NV18.6?

Even with kldload snd, there is nothing. I'm pretty lost at why I can't seem to get these drivers to load up. Would recompiling the kernel help with it?

Saludos desde Guatemala. The Handbook has a chapter on sound. That is a good place to learn about what you need to do. It also depends on which version of FreeBSD you are using. I have always added device pcm to my kernel config file. You can also just kldload the sound module. I haven't done that and can't really tell you how to do that but it should be searchable from an archive of the messages. The devices that your system recognizes can be seen by typing dmesg. This can be a long list and you may want to add | more. If it has been too long since you booted your system, it is always in /var/run/dmesg.boot If you are more comfortable with español, there is a Spanish list at https://listas.es.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd I see a lot more questions answered quickly on this list.

Thanks in advance... That means you didn't configure your kernel. You don't get detailed instructions on doing that because they are already available in the Handbook as Chapter 9. You also need to become familiar with Chapter 21, which is called the Cutting Edge. You have to be able to rebuild your world and kernel, and then install them. The steps of cvsuping and doing the makes are covered in the Cutting Edge. The Handbook is a reference but /usr/src/UPDATING is the authority. If there is a difference in procedure between Handbook and UPDATING, you use UPDATING. You need device pcm added to your kernel config file. Then, you have to make the kernel and install it. You are using a release and may not have installed sources. There have been fixes added to cvs tag=RELENG_5_! but tag=. is a better choice until they release 5.2. Until they release 5.2, -curent is the real list for 5.x questions. I don't think it matters where a question about sound is sent. I have a number of CT-4810's. They really think they are an Ensoniq - 1471 or something close. Please reply to this address as well as the list That is usually done in my case.

Thanks in advance... Its way too early to start building kernels to shoot for the proper drivers for your sound card. Use the KLD modules first to figure out what is needed, its much faster. Almost instant. Then rather than build the drivers into the kernel you might elect to load the modules automatically at boot. % su # kldload snd_driver See if your sound card now works. Easy test is to type mixer, if it doesn't complain then a driver was found. Snd_driver loads every sound driver, which works but is a bit excessive. We don't care about being excessive and wasteful when trying to get things working the first time but I don't think you want to use snd_driver all the time. If you get the card working with snd_driver (as I expect you will) then study /var/log/messages and dmesg(8) for hints as to what driver found hardware it liked. Then try to associate that with the modules listed with kldstat(8). Can use kldunload snd_driver to remove everything. Verify mixer(8) no longer works. Then use kldload(8) to install the module you think is needed. Verify with mixer(8). For me, snd_es137x is correct. Placed this line in /boot/loader.conf to load it (early) at boot: snd_es137x_load=YES snd_es137x depends on snd_pcm and will automatically pull it in too. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] = The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

soundcard stopping?
I'm running an up to date version of Freebsd 5.1, and I'm having problems with my soundcard. I have an Asus a7n8x deluxe. The kernel has pcm support compiled in and the sound card works mostly, but occasionally the soundcard will not work properly. For example: - xmms will be playing fine for an hour and then stop with the generic error about the soundcard being unavailable - I'll pause mplayer and unpause it only to have it crash due to the soundcard being unavailable - snes9x will stop playing the sound after a short amount of playtime Most of the time, I see an error along the lines of an illegal error. With mplayer and xmms, usually a couple of tries and the sound will work again. fstat | grep dsp will never output anything when the sound isn't working so I don't think anything else is blocking the soundcard plus I have 4 virtual channels set up so that shouldn't be possible anyway. The problem is hard to cause or predict so I can't really provide more specific situations, but I'm hoping that this has happened to someone else before. Thanks, Nick P.S. Has anyone seen anything about possible support of 2 channels on this board or support of the nvidia nic? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to enable PCI soundcard joystick in 5.1?
I have a PCI soundcard with a MIDI interface with a joystick attached. How can I configure the kernel to recognize the MIDI port? The soundcard is recognized and sound is working. Searching mailing list archives, I came across a couple of posts that talk about ISA-only support for MIDIs and patches to enable PCI versions[1]. The post talks about 4.8, and I'm too new to FreeBSD to figure out how relevant it is for 5.1. I have devices `pcm' and `joy' in my kernel config file, and I tried adding `midi' and `seq' just in case, but the device doesn't seem to get recognized: Jul 13 23:51:34 fbsd-machine kernel: pcm0: SigmaTel STAC9721/23 AC97 Codec Jul 13 23:51:34 fbsd-machine kernel: pci0: simple comms at device 10.0 (no driver attached) On on an off chance that the kernel just doesn't know where to look for it, I tried setting hint.joy.0.at=pci0 in /boot/device.hints, but with to effect. There is no joy in /dev (pun intended). Ari.

Here is the pciconf info: chip1@pci0:31:5:class=0x040100 card=0x56438086 chip=0x24158086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801AA 8xx Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller' class= multimedia subclass = audio Anyone have any ideas?

What make/model/brand of soundcard is it? well, you could try with sh /dev/MAKEDEV snd1 or snd2 should be enough :-) bye!
