RE: Sound not working on laptop
Hi, Thanks for all the help. I tried to locate a 'Non Plug-and-Play OS' option in the BIOS setup with no success. I think there aren't anything like this in my BIOS. Can someone on this list shed some light how to detect (track) IRQs and conflicts? Thanks, Mazen Yes, it is solvable. In your system BIOS, make certain that your system is set to 'Non Plug-and-Play OS.' This will enable the BIOS to assign appropriate IRQs and such. You have some conflict, which I'm not 100% certain on how to track. Someone on this list should be able to answer that part. Once you figure this out, you should set a line in your kernel config (not sure on syntax) to the effect of assiging an unused IRQ. It IS recognizing your sound card and trying to use it, but it's running into an Input/Output (that's where it gets IO in IO port space) conflict. -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Sound not working on laptop
Hi, Thanks for everyone who helped (and is helping me) to find my way in the great world of FreeBSD. I learned how to recompile the kernel and I did compile it with device pcm and device pcm0 at but it didn't work. I tried and tried and tried and spent almost 3 hours with no luck. Finally, I found that my sound card is SiS 7012 and I THINK it's a builtin one in the Motherboard. Amazingly, the sound card on my desktop machine (which runs FreeBSD 4.9 of course) is running smoothly. Could you please advise what would be the next thing I should do. Again, thanks.

Then check if /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer are created for you. If so, you're done. # kldload snd_ich Gautam ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Once rebooted, install amp (/usr/ports/audio/amp) and test with a .wav file. If you have KDE Games installed, you can use the following command to test: # amp /usr/local/share/apps/kasteroids/sounds/Kasteroids.wav If you're NOT running KDE at that time, it should work. If not, try running KDE and you should start to hear sounds. HTH -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588 pgp0.pgp Description: signature

Alzogbi www.MazenAlzogbi.com Sound is not supported in the default kernel. You'll need to add a device and recompile the kernel. See /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT for examples. Also make sure FreeBSD supports the sound codec. Lastly, make sure the applications you're using are proplerly configured to use the correct devices, etc. For example, IIRC, kscd uses /dev/rcd0c by default which most people will need to change to /dev/acd0c or /dev/cd0c.

Usually you would load a driver for your sound card or compile it into your kernel. What type of card is it?

Re: Sound not working on laptop
Great! But what does recompile the kernel with device pcm mean? :( Sounds like it is time for you to do some studying. Before you started an install, you should have read enough of the handbook to at least have encountered that concept and know where to go back to for more information. Even if you just looked in a kernel configuration file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf(try the one called LINT) you could begin to guess. jerry Cheers, Mazen -Original Message- From: Subhro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 10:42 PM To: 'Mazen S.
