Fwd: Re: Long msg: Unable to enable audio in FreeBSD 6.2 - Chipset VT8233A
Dominique had asked me to try few stuff. First he had asked me to give the output of pciconf. Which we found didnot have any entry for my sound card. As a reference he had given part of his pciconf. Compare his with mine. (Attachments are given.) I don't see an entry for your sound card, mine is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:7: class=0x040100 card=0x56701462 chip=0x70121039 rev=0xa0 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)' device = 'SiS7013 PCI Audio Accelerator' class = multimedia subclass = audio Exactly. For some reason the driver is not being loaded I guess. Look at the entry 'none2' in 'pciconf' which refers to multimedia device. Guess that's my audio device.

You shoud give a try with loading all modules just in case with: kldload sound I tried this too. But the result has not changed for good. Same outputs for all-kldstat, cat /dev/sndstat, dmesg, pciconf ... Then I decided to custom compile my kernel itself. I first unloaded 'sound'. Followed the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook to compile custom kernel and booted into system with it.

He gave me the following info Download the precompiled kernel module from here: http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/ Decompress the archive, copy sound.ko and snd_hda.ko to /boot/kernel (you may as well copy all the .ko files, but these two are the ones needed) then do (as root) a kldload snd_hda ( and add snd_hda_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf so it loads with each reboot). Hope this helps. _Alain -- Insert your favourite quote here.
