 That is of course a possibility.  Another possibility is that you just need
 to try a newer version of FreeBSD.
 I think support for audio on some ATI chipsets were added to RELENG_6 just

 few weeks ago (and is thus not in any -RELEASE yet.)
 
 If you have the 'snd_atiixp' driver on your system I would try it.

It is all too often the case that if one wants support for the latest
hardware, one has to run the latest version of an OS.

Luckily for you, the transition from 5.x to 6.x is fairly painless.

Checking the source code this chip does seem to be one of those supported

I am sorry to hear that. Over the years, I have found that if I provide
all the pertinent information that could be required; i.e., serial and
model numbers as well as anything else that might be available on the
machine's name or identification plate, or stamped into the machine's
case, I have been able to get virtually any information that I required.
It occasionally takes a few days however.

You could try loading the snd_driver kernel module to try to have it
determine what card it is and load the proper driver. It may work and

Hi. Check out:

It's device sound in 5.x instead of device pcm. Obviously then add

Hope that helps. :)



It helped a lot. I issued the command kldload sound in my original 
kernel, and loaded the module snd_ich. I have sound now when I click on 
test sound in the sound section of the CC and on starting a KDE session.


Problem is, I only get sound through the right hand side and I get 
nothing when trying to play a CD. Any ideas?

Glad you got it working. Now for the new issues:

I have not used KDE in a long time but I do know that their aRTs daemon 
takes over sound. Are there any settings showing the left and right 
channels that you can adjust? Maybe called Balance? You might also 
make sure that the connector on the actual sound card going to your 
speakers/headphones is plugged in all the way. I know if mine is only 
halfway in then I only hear one channel.


As for CD audio not playing, have you made sure that the audio connector 
is connected from your CD drive to your sound card? It could be that, or 
the mixer levels in aRTs are muted or not raised for CD's.

hi!

for audio adjustment:
mixer 100:100
(or any other value instead of 100 - from 0 to 100)
as for audio cd's - if i'm not wrong, there was something about groups - add 
yourself to the operator group. i suppose it helps.

It does. Right click on the channel, and you can split them in left and right. 
The horizontal slider at the bottom is for overall L/R balance also.

I used to get that error when I started KDE without having
loaded the driver for my sound card.  However the impact was
just that I couldn't hear any sound; KDE still started and
ran well (but quietly).

Depending on what sound card you have, it is likely that you
will want to add the following to /boot/loader.conf:

snd_pcm_enable=YES

That's assuming that you don't have it compiled into the kernel
(it isn't by default).  However, while that should fix the error
message when KDE loads, it probably won't resolve whatever is
causing KDE to stall.  Still, you have to take things one at a
time.

You need to provide more information. What version of KDE are using? Where's

Run cat /dev/sndstat to see if you even have any audio devices listed.

You have to add something like

to /boot/loader.conf for it to be run everytime you boot.

That is what I did. I added options pcm to my kernel config file,

 snd_driver_load=YES
 to /boot/loader.conf for it to be run everytime you boot.

  is it time to get a crash course in kernel compiling?

 That is what I did. I added options pcm to my kernel config file,
 which requires building a kernel, but why do it if the loader.conf
 addition works :).


That is device  pcm and not options.

 You have to add something like
 snd_driver_load=YES
 to /boot/loader.conf for it to be run everytime you boot.

Never tried it that way. I have a directory called /cdrom and all I do 
is mount /cdrom. You can't mount audio cds. You simply play them.

Some of the ports tell you to link /dev/acd0c to /dev/cdrom and chmod it 
to something like 744. I use xmcd or kscd to play my audiio cds but 
usually configure them to use acd0c.

Re: sound driver

 Hello all, I have a asus P4C-800-E motherboard and I don't know if my
 soundcard is supported or not.  When I use dmesg this is the mesage that
 i get
 pci0: serial bus, SMBus at device 31.3 (no driver attached)
 pci0: multimedia, audio at device 31.5 (no driver attached)

Loading the pcm module might be worth a try.

kldload snd_pcm.ko

If that gives you promising messages on your console, you can load that
module at boot up (/boot/loader.conf) or compile #device pcm into your
kernel (check the handbook for more details).
