Re: enabling audio cd sound in emu10kx driver
On stardate Mon, 28 Nov 2005, the wise Lowell Gilbert entered: Unfortunately, there is more than one chipset in different cards that are called by that name. My dmesg says: pcm0: Creative Audigy 2 (EMU10K2) port 0xee80-0xeebf irq 21 at device 4.0 on pci6 pcm0: SigmaTel STAC9721/23 AC97 Codec Does this mean it has a SigmaTel chip? The user manual only speaks of an audigy2 chip. I don't understand. Those messages certainly seem to be *recognizing* the device. SigmaTel's STA97xx's chips are designed to implement their AC97 codecs, likely your card is using the chip for this purpose. The EMU10Kx chips are mostly for wav processing. AC97 is an analog codecs, and wav processing is digital. hope this helps Jimi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only problem is sound from audio cd's. There is a spdif cable connection between the dvd player and the soundcard, and it has worked before because I was able (by the emuctrl program) to set the volume from in1. With this newer driver from the ports I cannot set in1.

Re: enabling audio cd sound in emu10kx driver
Marco Beishuizen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I would like to enable sound for my dvd player so I can listen to audio cd's. I installed the driver for my Audigy2 in the ports (emu10kx). Sound is working fine, except for audio cd's. I once had the old driver installed which came with emuctrl, a program which controls the volume. Entering emuctrl set in1 100 enabled sound for the cd player. But with the new driver in the ports emuctrl doesn't work anymore and mixer is unable to control the volume for in1. So my question is how to enable the volume for the dvd player with this driver. Sounds like you don't have an analog audio cable; these are not coming installed standard as often as they used to, as Windows is doing digital sound by default these days. If this is the problem, you can either put in such a cable yourself, or use digital audio (xmms can do this easily, for example). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't think that's the problem. The problem is that the line (the one that is called in1 in emuctrl) seems closed by default, and I have to open it (or set the volume to 100) by using a program like emuctrl. Using mixer doesn't work because it's unable to open/set in1. Marco -- A musician of more ambition than talent composed an elegy at the death of composer Edward MacDowell.

I don't know anything about this driver (you said you're using the one from the audio/emu10kx port), but there seem to be a bunch of knobs to play with. One is the analog/digital mode, which may be related (as I mentioned before, for a different reason, driving the audio in digital mode may work for you. You could also try the native emu10k1 driver, which is supposed to handle the EMU10K2 and EMU10K3 chipset-based Audigy 2 cards. You didn't mention if you'd done that before.
