Peter, I don't know if this is likely helpful or not, but my Compaq is a 1500c with an ESS ES1869, reporting (on 5.4-RELEASE): sbc0: ESS ES1869 (Compaq OEM) at port 0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b,0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 5,1 on isa0 pcm0: ESS 18xx DSP on sbc0 I too have in kernel: device sound device snd_sbc # ES1869 (Compaq OEM) but after much headscratching it only finally worked after adding: snd_ess_load=YES # this fixed it .. bridge driver for ESS to /boot/loader.conf. My soon to be built 5-STABLE kernel will include also 'device snd_ess' directly, and I'm expecting that to work too.

The man pages are not the clearest here. Indeed; I'd spent days googling around lists and pages, at last found: http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/index.pl?action=show_laptop_detaillaptop=496 about the 1750, which was wrong (for the 1500c) about the device hints - for unbridged devices, says sound(4) - but the needed clue for loading both snd_sbc and snd_ess. snd_ess(4) implies that all three drivers are needed but snd_sbc(4) has no reference to it - which is what confused me. snd_ess(4) has been updated then; at 5.4 it didn't mention snd_sbc. Building a 5-STABLE world right now, I'm a bit curious as to which of the more recent sound stuff has found its way into 5.5 .. hi Ariff!

The man pages are not the clearest here. snd_ess(4) implies that all three drivers are needed but snd_sbc(4) has no reference to it - which is what confused me. The easiest (and most reliable I've found) method to determine which sound driver(s) is needed for a particular sound card is: # kldload snd_driver # cat /dev/sndstat read the text to see what driver(s) it loaded # echo 'snd_driver_load=YES' /boot/loader.conf snd_driver will load every single sound driver available in FreeBSD, all at once, and the kernel will attempt to detect every sound chipset supported by those drivers. The contents of /dev/sndstat will show which chipset was found, and which specific driver is is being used (snd_ess in your case). Putting just that one driver into loader.conf will pull in all the needed dependecies (like sound, snd_sbc, etc).

Neat. Thanks much Freddie. (No, i don't have any sound driver problems, but your method seems much easier|lazier than to explicitly search for the sound hardware related FreeBSD bits.) - Parv -- ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sound device reported but no devices created
I've been trying to get sound working on a Compaq Armada 1580 with a recent 6-STABLE. With devices 'sound' and 'snd_sbc' built into the kernel and no hints, I get: ESS0004: adding io range 0x250-0x257, size=0x8, align=0 pnpbios: handle 16 device ID ESS0004 (04007316) ESS1878: adding io range 0x220-0x22f, size=0x10, align=0 ESS1878: adding io range 0x388-0x38b, size=0x4, align=0 ESS1878: adding io range 0x330-0x331, size=0x2, align=0 ESS1878: adding irq mask 0x20 ESS1878: adding dma mask 0x2 ESS1878: adding dma mask 0x20 pnpbios: handle 17 device ID ESS1878 (78187316) ... unknown: ESS0004 failed to probe at port 0x250-0x257 on isa0 sbc0: ESS ES1878 at port 0x220-0x22f,0x388-0x38b,0x330-0x331 irq 5 drq 1,5 on isa0 sbc0: [GIANT-LOCKED] unknown: PNP0e03 failed to probe at port 0x3e0-0x3e1 on isa0 Device configuration finished.
