Re: AC97 sound support

2003-11-03 Thread Wout A.
Congratz,
Have you tried this?
# kldload snd_driver (This tries all sound drivers..one of them might
work...)
If this works, you might want to add the driver to the /boot/loader.conf,
you can find an example in /boot/defaults/loader.conf .

Good Luck!

Subject: AC97 sound support


 I've just installed 5.1 -RELEASE on my new machine, a HP a350n. For
 sound this computer uses onboard RealTek AC97 Audio.

 I went throught the normal installation steps, then ran the steps for
 soundcard configuration in the manual. I ran kldload. I recompiled
 the kernel with 'device pcm'. I tried 'options PNPBIOS', at which
 point I received a message about an unkown option.

 dmesg | grep pci gives me this line:
 pci0: multimedia, audio at device 31.5 (no driver attached)

 dmesg | grep pcm returns nothing.

 This has all been seen on this list before. I searched c.u.b.f.m and
 -questions and have seen this come up before, but I never saw a
 resolution.

 My question is:

 Does all this mean the FreeBSD does not support onboard Realtek AC97
 Audio? I'd just like to know before I go out and buy a soundcard. It
 is not that I'm cheap, I just like finding out how FreeBSD works. :-)
 However it looks like a Soundblaster Live is the answer.

 Thanks for the help in the past and future.

To be more specific, this is what I have loaded on my FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE
laptop with AC97 sound:

Make sure you've got all the ICH (and possibly I2C) stuff in your kernel.
Here's the pciconf -lv for my chip, just in case you're curious to see if
they're identical:

device   = '82801CA/CAM (ICH3-S/ICH3-M) AC'97 Audio Controller'
class= multimedia
subclass = audio


Good luck!

Just curious, because I posted a similar problem about AC/97 recently. 
What desktop are you using? I am using gnome2 ATMo with no problems. Had 
a problem under KDE that I couldn't work around about dsp problems, and 
wondered if this was something similar?

I'm using KDE 3.1.2. When I start KDE I get the error message about 
/dev/dsp. I haven't worried about that yet. 

Jesse Guardiani wrote that he had his working correctly. All of the 
modules he suggested are already installed. When I 'kldload snd_ich' 
it returns 'Can't load: File exists.' yet it does not show on 
'kldstat' as here:
bash-2.05b$ kldstat
Id Refs AddressSize Name
 17 0xc010 5f2798   kernel
 21 0xc06f3000 4a30cacpi.ko
 31 0xc4594000 18000linux.ko

I haven't tried cdcontrol. Since 'dmesg| grep pcm' returns nothing, I 
figure no sound is running.

FreeBSD does not require MAKEDEV anymore, correct?
