You have 4 devices where the sound can go

which one has the speakers pluged in, you especify with (as root)

# sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=n

test sending a file to the sound system

Sorry, I was typing my email on my phone before. yikes, grammar!

Anyhow, this card works pretty good on my FreeBSD system:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102017

Note: if you want 'more' than 16bit stereo sound, ie multiple
'surround sound' channels, 32(24) bit, 96Khz recording - you have to
do a little code hacking. That card also has an ac3 decoder, so I
think you can dump ac3 data to it, but i haven't tried that yet. 'one
of these weekends' i'll get to it. :)

hi, i believe the market been more about mainstream-acceptable quality for
cheaper and cheaper the past few years. most people use on board sound.

not sure there will alot of new and exciting sound cards coming soon, its
kind of at the limit of pcm. it will be totally very cool when sound cards
do dsd / 5.7 mhz / 1 bit sampling rates, but thats still a ways off i think.

i use a creative x-fi card pci-e, the blue one that runs about 50 bucks...
on a FreeBSD system, it works pretty good with oss in base or you can try
v4.2 in ports.

asus xonar cards are excellent, they supposedly work in oss but i have not
tried my xonar on a FreeBSD machine yet.

if you run usb sound, i recommend getting an add-IN usb card, especially if
you want to do some 48k recording. add a couple devices to your usb bus and
you might notice some latency.

Try 10.0 and see what happens there. I came to 10 for other reasons. I
got stuck with 10 after I saw that it solved my problem on that machine.

I remember having a similar problem, although my issue was an echo.  After a

I can suggest three things to try:
 1) Update software
 1.1) Upgrade (or downgrade) wine (I've release version 1.5.20)
 1.2) Upgrade ports (some sound related components may cause issues, although 
*very* unlikely)
 1.3) Upgrade kernel and world (sound fixes may be available to fix your 
issue)
 
 2) Try building your own wine package with ALSA support (requires a i386 
jail/chroot, editing the emulators/wine-devel/Makefile and manually installing 
the ALSA port).  See my other emails regarding the procedure to build a wine-
fbsd64 package.  

 3) File a bug report to bugs.winehq.org.  I've found the sound guy very 
responsive and willing to fix the OSS backend (patches may be provided 
requiring parts of step 2).  

If you do not come right please ping me in the middle of Jan and I'll try 
assist you (I should be able to get a copy of CS 1.6).

I have read meanwhile that most hardware is meanwhile supported by this. I 
tried it only a long time and got stuck then with loading directly the driver I 
need without ever bothering about the other options.

Anyway, the original poster seems to have the same problem I have had with my 
hardware those days.

Yes, it will.  'snd_driver' is a meta-module which depends on, and
therefore will pull in, all the available sound drivers.

(If you don't believe me try checking the output of 'kldstat' before
and after doing 'kldload snd_driver')

Works fine. Maybe not the best solution for everyone (I use it for

the handbook also says:

'Other available loadable sound modules are listed in 
/boot/defaults/loader.conf.'

I simply tried some out. If I remember right, mine was also not listed to work 
but worked with the driver I used as an example for you.

Do not forget, the handbook is not necessarily written by the same person as 
the program.

You must load the driver for your sound card. Something like

kldload  snd_hda


I am confused, because the handbook says the opposite:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/sound-setup.html


To use your sound device, you will need to load the proper device driver.


Then:


If you are not sure which driver to use, you may try to load the 
snd_driver module:


#  kldload snd_driver
This is a metadriver loading the most common device drivers at once. 


Even though I wish to use only the right driver, the manual didn't say 
how can I find which driver is the right one except trying with 
snd_driver. It didn't even mention what drivers are there on the system. 
One might expect it at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC but there is 
nothing mentioning sound card.



You must replace snd_hda by the name of the driver for your card.


I'd be glad to try that if you inform me what is the name of the driver 
for my card, or point me way to find this information:)


Thanks for answering my mail!

You must load the driver for your sound card. Something like

kldload  snd_hda

You must replace snd_hda by the name of the driver for your card.

Hi,

Use the "xev" program to check which keysymbols (or at

my Sun keyboard I have those for audio:

141
142
143


I get an output like this:

 0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

You need to look for those events:

KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x201,
 root 0x73, subw 0x0, time 3923776537, (162,2), root:(271,490),
 state 0x10, keycode 154 (keysym 0xffd4, F23), same_screen YES,
 XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
 XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
 XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x201,
 root 0x73, subw 0x0, time 3923776635, (162,2), root:(271,490),
 state 0x10, keycode 154 (keysym 0xffd4, F23), same_screen YES,
 XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
 XFilterEvent returns: False

The 2nd line, the information in the middle is important:
"keycode 154 (keysym 0xffd4, F23)": It indicates that the
keycode generated has been identified with the code 154,
and this code is already mapped to the symbol F23. This
is (just for completeness) the "Cut" key of the 2x5 field
to the left.

Erm... just a side question... you're refering to pressing
the Fn key with a function key (e. g. Fn+F1) for volume
control, or are there other special keys for volume? I'm
asking this as in the past, volume control was managed by
the BIOS (I think), but NOT by the operating system or
application programs. This means it was possible to change
the volume INDEPENDENTLY from any driver. I'm not sure if
this is still the case. Maybe - just MAYBE - you need a
hardware and software (!) specific driver to do those
basic things... history teaches that all the "simple things"
that worked in the past are a high mountain to climb today...
thanks to YOU, hardware manufacturers! :-)

Please understand the paragraph as follows: MAYBE (!!!) it's
not even possible to do what you're intending.


No I don't .. I thought it, but the volume buttons are extra buttons - 
without FN.

Erm... just a side question... you're refering to pressing
the Fn key with a function key (e. g. Fn+F1) for volume
control, or are there other special keys for volume? I'm
asking this as in the past, volume control was managed by
the BIOS (I think), but NOT by the operating system or
application programs. This means it was possible to change
the volume INDEPENDENTLY from any driver. I'm not sure if
this is still the case. Maybe - just MAYBE - you need a
hardware and software (!) specific driver to do those
basic things... history teaches that all the "simple things"
that worked in the past are a high mountain to climb today...
thanks to YOU, hardware manufacturers! :-)

Please understand the paragraph as follows: MAYBE (!!!) it's
not even possible to do what you're intending.

Hi,

how can I use the FN Buttons to regular the sound?
I'm using fluxbox.

Use the "xev" program to check which keysymbols (or at
least codes) are output by those keys. For example, on
my Sun keyboard I have those for audio:

141
142
143

Then write a file ~/.xmodmaprc to assign names to those
keys, for example:

! Sound off
keycode 141 = F24
! Lower volume
keycode 142 = F25
! Raise volume
keycode 143 = F26

You can also use

SunAudioMute
SunAudioLowerVolume
SunAudioRaiseVolume

or

XF86AudioMute
XF86AudioLowerVolume
XF86AudioRaiseVolume

I decided to continue the enumeration as function keys for
all the extra keys on my keyboard. :-)

Incorporate the settings upon X startup, using ~/.xinitrc
or maybe ~/.xsession:

xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc

Then use the keyboard action configuration of Fluxbox. As I
don't use it anymore, I can't tell you where it is, but there
should be a configuration file which selects which action to
be taken when a specific key is pressed.

I'm using WindowMaker's configuration utility for that. I did
add menu entries and set a custom key for them. For example,
I made the following settings:

F24 ->  mixer 0
F25 ->  mixer vol -5
F26 ->  mixer vol +5

You should be able to find a similar approach in FLuxbox.

I'm sure you got the idea: You identify what the keys DO and
then connect them to a keyname. This keyname is then connected
to a specific program call, "mixer" with the intended parameters
in case of volume control.

Try increasing the hw.snd.latency sysctl:

 hw.snd.latency
 Configure the buffering latency.  Only affects applications that
 do not explicitly request blocksize / fragments.  This tunable
 provides finer granularity than the hw.snd.latency_profile tun-
 able.  Possible values range between 0 (lowest latency) and 10
 (highest latency).

Not sure if it will help your situation but I had to add hw.snd.default_unit=1

For WAV files, the play command from the port audio/sox is fine.
I think it's a bit "heavy" to employ mplayer for this simple job.

If you want to find this out, just check the configuration files
of Pidgin and grep for "wav" or "mp3", you'll find where the files
come from.

Of course not, it doesn't belong to the operating system. :-)
You can simply "pkg_add -r sox" to get this program.

The sound volume doesn't depend on the player. If the files
are "weak", it may be useful to increase their audio level.

And you're sure that the audio isn't loud enough everywhere?
Maybe the output level of your sound card - or nowadays a
built-in sound card emulation through the CPU :-) - hasn't
enough power for your speakers. (I don't have such trouble,
I use a system with a separate amplifier.)

So it really seems to be that

a) Pidgin uses strange mixer settings on its own

b) the files that Pidgin plays are too "weak" in
   terms of audio level.

This is because the price of the mainboard is less expensive

IIRC, pidgin uses the sound files from libpurple:

I just use the default setting from Pidgin. I don't know what is the kind of 
sound though I guess that's *.wav. When I press "Browse" in Pidgin 
Configuration Page for Sound I don't get the right place of default sound file. 
Pidgin may use files from GTK collection.

When I use Arch Linux I can use "play %s" but "play" isnot installed as default 
on FreeBSD. I install `mpg123` but I still get small sound.

Thank you. I didn't read carefully mplayer's man page.

When I use `mplayer -af volume=n` within `n > 10`, I get so much noises. The 
acceptable value is 9 or 10. 

The sound files are taken from default installation of Pidgin, and I shouldnot 
ormalize them :) -- unless I want some lourder notifications.

the audio files, try using this as your sound command:


mplayer -af volume=20 %s

I use the same method you do.  Just a tip: since you use mplayer, as opposed to
the default gstreamer, you can clear a *lot* of cruft from your system by
reconfiguring the pidgin port and turning off the gstreamer option,
re-installing pidgin, then uninstalling the gstreamer stuff.  I find that
the ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves port is execllent for such cleaning.

Onto your question.  I have two thoughts.

First, make sure that /usr/sbin/mixer shows "vol" and "pcm" both at a
a reasonable level.  I find that 60:60 is usually sufficient for me, whether
I used headphones or speakers.

Second, the sound files you are using might simply be a bit low on the
volume side.  You may want to load them into something like audacity to
increase their loudness.

First, maybe mplayer is a bit "heavy stuff" for notification sounds.
What are these files? If they are *.wav, use "play %s" command, and if
they are *.mp3, use "madplay %s" or "mpg123 %s", as well as "ogg123 %s"
for *.ogg files. Check out the manpages for these programs if you
think you need further options.

Check the other volumes as well. PCM should be 100:100, too.
If vol == 100:100 and pcm == 10:10, it will be very silent. :-)

Do other applications (music and movie player, games etc.) play
louder sounds?

I'm not sure mine is better, don't mind. The guys on that list have

FreeBSD is reporting it in 1024-based units like memory/storage is
usually reported within OSs - it's just that the use of MiB etc hasn't
really caught on. Manufacturers use decimal units.

It's actually reporting 114440MB rather than the 114GB you mentioned, so
it's a factor of (1000/1024)^2 not (1000/1024)^3.

Right, so you should only need snd_csa_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf, 
assuming you have a GENERIC kernel that already has 'device sound'; if 
not, you may also need sound_load="YES".

If you set 'sysctl hw.snd.verbose=2' manually or have 'hw.snd.verbose=2' 
in /etc/sysctl.conf, you'll get more info out of 'cat /dev/sndstat', 
which someone might need if you're still having problems with sound.

I think you're perhaps referring to what df tells you about free space? 
Remember that UFS reserves, by default, 8% of a slice for system use or 
overcommitment by root.  So a 120GB drive, all allocated to one slice, 
newfs'd, you'd expect df to show you around 110GB.  If you actually fill 
it up, from a root process, you'd see the oft-dreaded '108% capacity' :)

Assuming for example that your disk is /dev/ad0, show us the output of 
'fdisk -s ad0'.  Then, for any slice/s (X) having FreeBSD type 0xa5, 
show result of 'bsdlabel ad0sX'.  The sector maths should then work out.

The fdisk and bsdlabel outputs will tell the true story.  If, as you 
suggested earlier, you did enter a different geometry, you might have 
lost some real space, so also show us 'fdisk ad0 | grep cylinders'

Theoretically placing snd_csa_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf should enable
this card. If it is loading OK kldstat will show it and you should get
output from cat /dev/sndstat confirming.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:6:0:class=0x040100 card=0x42801013 chip=0x60031013
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00

is matching the #define CS4614_PCI_ID 0x60031013 in the driver code so it
really ought to work. If it doesn't try not loading the acpi module at
boot. But if HP did something really non standard when they wired this up
you could be SOL.

Try putting this in the boot/loader.conf

sound_driver_load="YES"

This loads the driver it is already in there.

sound support into the kernel. Just add these two lines in your kernel 
configuration file:


device sound
device snd_hda

rebuild, reboot, done.


Yes, but I want to keep generic as generic as possible

I also have some usb mouse problems. Input on the subject "usb mouse 
problem" are welcome.

Well, it seems the snd_hda_load line is commented out ;)
Also you don't need to add sound_load="YES", just by adding 
snd_hda_load="YES" the generic sound module will be loaded as well.

You could try playing around with some of the sound sysctls:

hw.snd.latency_profile
hw.snd.latency
hw.snd.feeder_buffersize

(try 'sysctl hw.snd' to see all sysctls).

Have you had a play with mixer(8)?

E.g:

$ mixer vol
Mixer vol  is currently set to  75:75
$ mixer vol 70:70
Setting the mixer vol from 75:75 to 70:70.

Obviously, you'd want to raise the volume rather than reduce it like I
just did.

Well, probably the main reason most people do it is to strip away any
unneeded functionality.  The GENERIC kernel contains a whole slew of
drivers and options that most people don't need, but are intended to
support a wide range of hardware configurations "out of the box".  You
can greatly reduce the kernel's size by only including the features you
really need.

Thank you all for your replies.  It was snd_ich.

And sorry for the double post to the list.  Despite having the list
option "Receive your own posts to the list" set, it seems when I send
messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't get my own copy.  I reread the
mailing list info on the freebsd.org page and it said to send messages
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I thought the option to send to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] must have been removed and only to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] must be working now.  Strangely, when I send
to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I get my own copy.

Especially:

If you are not sure which driver to use, you may try to load the 
snd_driver module:


# kldload snd_driver

This is a metadriver loading the most common device drivers at once. 
This speeds up the search for the correct driver.

You might want to play with some hw.snd sysctls, especially;
- hw.snd.latency_profile (set to zero)
- hw.snd.latency (set to lower value)

Hi,

I don't really ge an anwser to my own question, but I get a solution
to have my sound card working: use OSS and it's automatically
detected. My steps:
- Remove envy24ht from loader.conf
- Install oss (src required)
- Enable oss un rc.conf at boot time

dsp* devices are created, my sound card is dsp or dsp0. It's working
fine and I can manage the sound.

Re: Sound volume in Totem

Hi,

 If volume in mplayer is high, then can you give us what is the -ao you
are using ? probably that could be a clue ...

Re: Sound problems on Thinkpad T43

2008-01-28 Thread Alex Kloss
Actually, I discovered that the Thinkpad has a hardware mixer
(controlled by three volume buttons above the keyboard) that FreeBSD
doesn't control. Apparently I had accidentally muted this mixer. Once
I unmuted it, my sound returned. Silly thing not to notice before
asking the list, but no harm done I suppose.

Thanks anyway everyone!

Ok, never mind. After changing my settings to those of Wojciech's, the
sound still didn't work. I booted the system with a Fedora 7 Live CD
and tried playing some music, but I didn't get any sound out of it
then, either.

It looks like the card on this Thinkpad has died. Shame, too, I just

Surely we must assume that the OP is in search of something better than
Vista, and by directing them to:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html

we can state confidently that by following the instructions there, all
the OP's Vista problems will soon be a thing of the past.  The question
of whether there is good sound support for this board under FreeBSD is
moot (and hopefully not 'mute' like the malapropism one of my colleagues
recently came out with).

Why would you ask a FreeBSD Questions list about a problem with with
a Microsloth product?There is no connection between FreeBSD which
is a UNIX type operating system and Vista which is something Microsloth
calls an operating system.

I have no idea why voice would not work on Vista.
Maybe you can find an MS list to ask.

you need the HDA low latency sound drivers which are not in 6.2-RELEASE.
You can either try the binary drivers for 6.x provided by the author
here [http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/] or update to
6-STABLE (see the handbook for details.)

Seems you have the newest intel ICH6 High definition Audio. You can get
the snd_hda driver from here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/

then do a

kldload snd_hda

and it will most probably work fine (I've tried it on a notebook, no
problems)

Other than that you should then follow the instructions in the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

(especially section 7.2.1)

That implies that nothing recognized as an audio device has been  
configured by your BIOS.  You might want to double-check your BIOS  
settings and make sure that the on-board sound is enabled, and/or  
check for a BIOS update

try with
pciconf -vl | grep -iB 4 audio
or
pciconf -vl 1 grep -iB 4 multimedia

sometimes the class is multimedia, or [Aa]udio is included in the name
of the device..

Re: sound drivers

2007-03-14 Thread Miguel Alcántara

This works for me:

$kldload snd_driver
$cat /dev/sndstat

then you will see the correct sound driver, and add that in
/boot/loader.conf

my case:

ofuscado# kldload snd_driver


ofuscado# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0:  at io 0xd800, 0xdc40 irq 17 bufsz 16384 kld
snd_ich (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default)


ofuscado# cat /boot/loader.conf
snd_ich_load="YES"

You haven't provided a lot of information (sound card, dmesg etc...) but try 
this:

Add this in your /etc/sysctl.conf file:
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4
hw.snd.maxautovchans=4

Hi,

I recently had a similar problem in KDE.  The way
I tracked it down was to fstat|grep dsp in order
to see what had the device file open.

What prompted
this was I had been running skype and, after being
disconnected, I was unable to reconnect.  It turned
out that konqueror had grabbed the device when I played
a media file and hadn't released it afterward.

Hope this helps,

Duane Whitty

I should have thought to check the logs before
posting here. There are error messages in the messages
file. This one is just after I reloaded the module.

May 16 17:58:35 bahamut kernel: pcm0: ac97 link rate
calibration timed out after 1341388 us

And this one is at a seemingly random time.

May 18 19:26:56 bahamut
kernel:pcm0:virtual:0:dsp0.2:play interrupt timeout,
channel dead

There aren't any errors that show up every time I
attempt to play a song, but I'm sure the above two
are related. I have tried using mplayer, which is
command-line based. Currently, /dev/sndstat shows my
soundcard and nothing unusual, even though nothing
will play.

I'd guess there's more than one thing going on, so try to
eliminate some variables.  In particular, use a command-line
utility to generate audio.  Also, watch for log messages,
and for changes in the output of /dev/sndstat.

I have figured that i do not have a /dev/dsp

Multimedia systems selector give me pipeline errors when i try to test OSS or

Did you have a look at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html
???
Sound setup should not depend on the kind of window manager you 
are running. Try to kldload all drivers first to find out which 
is the correct one for you.
