soundcard not working 5.4
Hey, I don't know if this is the right list but I will ask anyway. I want to have FreeBSD as my main OS the only thing that is stopping me is I am unable to get my sound card to work I have an Azalia based sound card. In Linux it comes up as an ICH6 based soundcard and after checking the 5.4 Hardware compatibilty I proceeded to download it. Im using the 5.4 RC1, when I load the drivers (I used kldload snd_ich and noticing no change tried kldload snd_driver and all loaded with out error but when I type in : $cat /dev/sndstat I get no listing and dmesg shows no pcm either. Is this soundcard supported? cheers Wayne ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for the reply gustaaf, I used this to check if my hardware was supported ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.4-RC2/HARDWARE.HTM#AUDIO (it was RC1 at the time) I haven't modified the kernel (dont really have the time to do it ATM) I loaded all the drivers by loading snd_drivers like it said in the handbook none of them worked. Here is the dmesg output from linux: :00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03) Any ideas?

I tried it, but on boot the same messages came up about the soundcard. But worse than that, the new kernel couldn't mount the root file system. Does the PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES option also require PNPBIOS? I didn't have PNPBIOS in my kernel config. I think I'll try hardcoding the resources for the sbc driver and see what that does. For the record, I got the soundcard to work (SIIG Soundwave Pro PCI with ALS4000 chip). After spending too much time enabling and disabling kernel options and playing with BIOS settings for me to still be considered sane, it occured to me that just maybe the PCI slot was FUBAR. It isn't completely FUBAR, but switching the video and soundcards made it all work. Damn PCI Bus! Why can't we just set resoources with jumpers. If God meant for mankind to be plug-and-play, he would have given us better BIOSes ;) More advice is welcome.

Soundcard not working
I just got a new soundcard, a SIIG Soundwave Pro PCI. It has what is supposed to be a supported chip, the ALS4000. I get the following errors on boot: pcm0: Avance Logic ALS4000 irq 5 at device 14.0 on pci0 pcm0: unable to allocate register space pcm0: failed to allocate resources I tried setting the bios PNP OS to off as suggested in other messages, but this kills my ATA33 card. I also set the latency timer for the card to 0x100 in the bios and still it doesn't work. The platform is 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Mon Feb 10 13:39:5 I have pcm and sbc devices in the kernel, which worked with the old SB-AWE 32 (ISA) that I just took out. And that card is broken and won't record anymore, not to mention, the integrated IDE controller couldn't be turned off reliably. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
