5.3 Release and Realtek
I'm running 5.3-Release amd64 on an Asus AV8 motherboard which includes
Realtek ALC850 audio chipset. I'm unable to get the system to recognize
the chipset. From the archives/man pages/manual I've :
# kldload snd_driver
kldload: can't load snd_driver: No such file or directory
Modified /boot/loader.conf to use :
sound_load=YES
snd_driver_load=YES
Recompiled the kernel with :
device sound
The last one resulted in /dev/sndstat showing up, but the contents show
no devices :
# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
However I don't see any snd_* modules in /boot/kernel/*ko
I also noted that sys/dev/sound/pcm/ac97.c contains the following :
static const struct ac97_vendorid ac97vendorid[] = {
{ 0x414c4300, Realtek },
static struct ac97_codecid ac97codecid[] = {
{ 0x414c4790, 0x0f, 0, ALC850,0 },
At this point I'm at a loss as to where to go from here, or which kernel
module would support this chipset.
Other than that this system is a screamer. This is my first experience
with 5.3, AMD, and with the 64 bit port, so far I'm really impressed. I
saw reports that the Marvell Gig Ethernet wasn't working for some folks,
but it worked fine for me. I chose this motherboard as it was the only one
of about three that supported socket 939 and had the Via K8T800 chipset, I
was concerned about the reports of problems with the nVidia nForce
chipset. I would have liked to have had PCI-X, but that's only available
today with nVidia. The Promise SATA raid controller (one of two different
brand controllers onboard) worked just fine.

I know, I found out later it's the VIA VT8237 chipset. The information from Asus makes the codec appear as the chipset. # kldload snd_driver kldload: can't load snd_driver: No such file or directory Try kldload snd_ich, failing that email the output of pciconf -lv Although snd_driver should work.. What does dmesg say after you've tried to load it? The problem was that none of the snd_* modules were built, and I did rebuild the kernel. Once I built the modules, I was able to load the drivers. I think you need to add device sound to get these modules to build automgically. So the snd_via8233 is the driver that works, and it's fine if you want basic functionality (stereo sound, record, etc.) This motherboard (Asus AV8) has 8 channel audio though. I stumbled across this site : http://www.opensound.com/freebsd.html I installed the demo FreeBSD driver (expires every three months) and it supports the card fully. It's only $30 to buy it, so if I end up doing multimedia stuff with this system then it's well worth the cost. It's so nice not having to resort to Linux everytime you want to do something cool This should resolve a bunch of unanswered posts I saw in the list archives. Thanks for the help.

No, the modules are built regardless of the kernel options you use. In this case they weren't, not sure why. I looked in /boot/kernel for snd* and there was nothing there. I did a `locate snd_*` and found them in /usr/src/sys/modules/sound. When I did a make install, they were all properly installed. It seems they just don't get built unless device sound is specified in the kernel conf.

Re: 5.3 Release and Realtek
I think I found the answer, more testing will be required, but for now I see the sound card. The answer : # cd /usr/src/sys/modules/sound # make install # kldload snd_driver # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm1: VIA VT8237 at io 0xd800 irq 22 kld snd_via8233 (5p/1r/0v channels duplex) Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
