VT82C686/A/B AC'97 Audio Codec

2003-09-06 Thread Timur
Hi!

I have integrated via82c686 soundcard..  I am new to freebsd (coming
from linux), and wishing to use it instead windows at work.  The sound
card in Windows XP is shown as AC97 codec, and works well.

Unfortunately, I have no luck with making it work under freebsd.  What I
am trying to do is to load via82c686 driver..  it loads, but the kernel
does not writes any messages about detected card (it with CMI8xxx card
at home)..

My FreeBSD is 4.8-RELEASE

Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Timur.

I only added 'device pcm' to the kernel, so kldload pcm should work as root.

What do you mean by adding 'device pcm' to kernel? I have a kernel that
comes with 4.8-STABLE, i did not recompile it.
grep pcm /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT shows two lines:
device  pcm0 at isa? irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0
device  pcm

I try to do 'kldload snd_pcm'.  Silence (the kernel is supposed to write
something like PCM... on the first console, am I right?)

mpg123 fails, says can't open /dev/dsp

Also, I try to 'kldload snd_via82c686', no results..

The line:  device  pcm
needs to be added to a new kernel configuration file.  The easiest way to do 
this is to copy /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC to a new file.  Follow 
directions at:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

I think the pcm0 line is for ISA sound cards.

 I try to do 'kldload snd_pcm'.  Silence (the kernel is supposed to write

2003-09-06 Thread William Dean DeVries
I would try to load the pcm module using kldload first. kldload  
snd_pcm will probably work.  If it says the file exist, it's alread in  
the kernel.  In 4.8, you need to make the device file in /dev still.   
You should read the section in the handbook on freebsd.org Setting Up  
the Sound Card.  I rebuilt my kernel to get mine to work, something  
else was trying or was using the irq my sound card need.  It was  
probably fixable by editing device.hints in /boot, but the default  
kernel has a lot of stuff in it you probably don't need.

This is what worked for me in FreeBSD 5.1-Current, kldload pcm from 
/boot/kernel did not.
