CMI8788 audio card/chip support
Are any plans being made to start support for these audio cards? Currently I'm using one in a system I would like to use with FreeBSD but it has no support through the kernel and driver support from OSSv4 lands me with a system that either freezes or won't boot properly.

Interesting. I've been using a CMI-based sound card with FreeBSD 4, 5 and 7 already. See "man snd_cmi": HARDWARE The snd_cmi driver supports the following sound cards: · CMedia CMI8338A · CMedia CMI8338B · CMedia CMI8738 · CMedia CMI8738B It lists older CMI8788 as supported devices. Doesn't it provide sufficient compatibility? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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"

Have you tried loading the generic driver to see if your audio card is picked up: # kldload snd_driver then try # cat /dev/sndstat which will show more info about it?

kldload snd_driver only detected my USB Headset and loaded theusb audio driver. It did not detect my CMI8788 (ASUS Xonar DX PCIe)and snd_cmi does not support it. cat /dev/sndstat generated this: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)Installed devices:pcm0: (play/rec) default Which is my Logitech USB headset, not my PCIe sound card. The boot generated a message stating "Unsupported Sound Carddetected.

That would be a good thing to do.

Maybe it's possible to take those IDs (card=0x82751043 chip=0x878813f6) and temporarily "patch" them into the cmi driver, to try if it then will recognize the device and handle it (maybe with limited functionality)? I know a similar approach has been possible to "magically activate" some incompatible USB hardware... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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"
