[SOLVED] sound card not recognized by freebsd 8.2 but mentioned in PC-BSD 8.2
I am actually amazed nobody nor the handbook mentioned OSS to me, because after learned this, it suddenly become obvious this option should be tried right after failure of snd_driver. In fact, the sound card in-topic is Ali M5455, the first on the list of sound card supported by OSS. http://manuals.opensound.com/devlists/FreeBSD.html The solution is as simple as 'pkg_add -vr oss'. done. solved. Consider OSS supported sound card list is rather long, it should be a must recommendation after snd_driver. Again amazed that lspci in Linux showed keyword M5455, but pciconf -lv didn't show keyword "M5455". Having the keyword it's only a minute to figure out which is the right driver. -- 我的博客： http://zhangweiwu.ixiezi.com/ 网站进化论 －－写给需要网站或后悔有了网站的人 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

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.

sound card not recognized by freebsd 8.2 but mentioned in PC-BSD 8.2
Hello. I intend to use FreeBSD instead of PC-BSD. The sound card doesn't work on FreeBSD 8.2. I tried to follow the manual and loaded all sound card drivers # kldload snd_driver But no driver works: # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) Installed devices: There is nothing after "installed devices". And there is nothing about sound card mentioned in dmesg. I had the impression non of the drivers recognizes the card, which is: none1@pci0:0:4:0: class=0x040100 card=0x103b13bd chip=0x545510b9 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Acer Labs Incorporated (ALi/ULi)' device = 'AC'97 Audio Controller (M1563M Southbridge)' class = multimedia subclass = audio Search for the chip ID as keyword on google reveals in PC-BSD this keyword is mentioned in their driver database "/PCBSD/soundDetect/soundcards.xml" source: http://trac.pcbsd.org/changeset/3018/pcbsd Somehow this hints PC-BSD recognizes and can configure this sound card. My question is, if PC-BSD could play using this sound card, a FreeBSD method must not be too far away, right? Can I configure FreeBSD somehow to let a driver recognize and make use of this sound card? P. S. If it doesn't work, I guess I'll fall back to Windows instead of PC-BSD because I intend to use this machine for playing around and testing GNUStep including its multimedia. The computer has a hard-wired 8GB storage which is OK for the purpose, but not enough for PC-BSD. -- 我的博客： http://zhangweiwu.ixiezi.com/ 网站进化论 －－写给需要网站或后悔有了网站的人 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Sound Card NOT
Hiya Thanks - a little messing around, and some very helpful information from Sergey and Danny have got my sound card recognised. Only small problem is that hissing sound that you get from"cat /dev/urandom>/dev/dsp" is all I can get (at least it's a sound :~))when running xmms, kaboodle, or just the system sounds in control panel. I unplugged the speakers (Double checking just in case)and when I tried to run xmms, it said that my sound card was configured properly and was working fine (just my luck to install a tone deaf xmms version LOL)but it was plugged into the wrong outlet - so I put it back, and get the hissing back. Any idea what is going on ?

So what? :) Hi Danny Thanks for your tips, some a little over my head, but a good read up today should clear things up !(I hope :)~) I will be trying them out today.I am quite new to FreeBSD (about 4 months) and wish to learn it thoroughly. I have had great success with every project I have attempted so far. I included the above as a point of interest - you say 'So the motherboard also has an onboard VGA chip So what? :)' The real interesting thing is that I have pulled the box apart, and I assure you that there is no Trio VGA card - only on-board VGA. 100% sure.Thats how it was when FreeBSD was installed - I installed myself and know that there has never been a video card in this box.When setting up X, I used the VESA driver.

Sound Card - NOT
Hi Everyone Seems that quite a few people are having sound probs ! I am about to join in here - I also cannot get my sound card to operate.I have a P2 with a 20 gig Hdd and 128Mb RAM - the machine has onboard sound so I tried all the options - PNP BIOS, pcm, anything generic, and the sound pro config (as thats what the bios indicated it was) from the handbook, no good,(I did reconfig the kernel each time as well) so I disabled the onboard sound and installed a sound card - no idea of brand, it came from a dead computer but I knew it was working be fore the motherboard fell over. Main problem is my system recognises 2 video cards (as it did before I disabled the onboard sound) and the new sound card is not recognised (as far as I can see) Output of cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed Devices pcm0: at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:0 bufsz 4096 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex) (isn't this saying that it is working ?) Output of uname -a FreeBSD Rockstar.richardflanagan.com.au 4.8 STABLE #1 Tue Aug 26 10:10:39 EST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DRAGON i386 Output of grep pcm /var/run/demsg.boot pcm0: on sbc0 (doesn't this also indicate sound is happening ?) I get no errors when I try to play an MP3 through xmms, problem is I get no sound either.
