Hi, I'm installing FreeBSD for the first time (version 5.4), although I've been a Linux user for some years. The machine is an old laptop, Toshiba Satellite 2805.
I followed the instructions in section 7.2.1 of the handbook, and found out the needed kernel module is snd_ds1, and modified /boot/loader.conf accordingly. cat /dev/sndstat gives me: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <Yamaha DS-1E (YMF754)> at memory 0xefdf0000 irq 11 kld snd_ds1 (4p/2r/0v channels duplex default) However, I have not been able to get any sound from the card. I tried the different test methods outlined in section 7.2.2 to no avail. Running mixer(8) gives me: mixer: /dev/mixer: No such file or directory. AFAIK I don't need to manually create any nodes in /dev, as I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 with devfs, so I'm lost here. Later I found that dmesg gives more information that /dev/sndstat: pcm0: <Yamaha DS-1E (YMF754)> port 0xfebc-0xfebf,0xfec0-0xfeff mem 0xefdf0000-0xefdf7fff irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 pcm0: AC97 reset timed out. pcm0: ac97 codec invalid or not present (id == 0) I don't think it is a hardware or CMOS setup problem, as I dual-boot into Windows 2000, and the soundcard works OK. Could anybody point me to any online resource I could use to solve this? Thanks in advance.
