[SOLVED] sound card not recognized by freebsd 8.2 but mentioned in PC-BSD 8.2
I am actually amazed nobody nor the handbook mentioned OSS to me, because after learned this, it suddenly become obvious this option should be tried right after failure of snd_driver. In fact, the sound card in-topic is Ali M5455, the first on the list of sound card supported by OSS. http://manuals.opensound.com/devlists/FreeBSD.html The solution is as simple as 'pkg_add -vr oss'. done. solved. Consider OSS supported sound card list is rather long, it should be a must recommendation after snd_driver. Again amazed that lspci in Linux showed keyword M5455, but pciconf -lv didn't show keyword M5455. Having the keyword it's only a minute to figure out which is the right driver. -- 我的博客： http://zhangweiwu.ixiezi.com/ 网站进化论 －－写给需要网站或后悔有了网站的人 ___ 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

Yes, it will. 'snd_driver' is a meta-module which depends on, and therefore will pull in, all the available sound drivers.

I tried it only a long time and got stuck then with loading directly the driver I need without ever bothering about the other options. Anyway, the original poster seems to have the same problem I have had with my hardware those days.

sound card not recognized by freebsd 8.2 but mentioned in PC-BSD 8.2
Hello. I intend to use FreeBSD instead of PC-BSD. The sound card doesn't work on FreeBSD 8.2. I tried to follow the manual and loaded all sound card drivers # kldload snd_driver But no driver works: # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) Installed devices: There is nothing after installed devices. And there is nothing about sound card mentioned in dmesg. I had the impression non of the drivers recognizes the card, which is: none1@pci0:0:4:0: class=0x040100 card=0x103b13bd chip=0x545510b9 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Acer Labs Incorporated (ALi/ULi)' device = 'AC'97 Audio Controller (M1563M Southbridge)' class = multimedia subclass = audio Search for the chip ID as keyword on google reveals in PC-BSD this keyword is mentioned in their driver database /PCBSD/soundDetect/soundcards.xml source: http://trac.pcbsd.org/changeset/3018/pcbsd Somehow this hints PC-BSD recognizes and can configure this sound card. My question is, if PC-BSD could play using this sound card, a FreeBSD method must not be too far away, right? Can I configure FreeBSD somehow to let a driver recognize and make use of this sound card? P. S. If it doesn't work, I guess I'll fall back to Windows instead of PC-BSD because I intend to use this machine for playing around and testing GNUStep including its multimedia. The computer has a hard-wired 8GB storage which is OK for the purpose, but not enough for PC-BSD. -- 我的博客： http://zhangweiwu.ixiezi.com/ 网站进化论 －－写给需要网站或后悔有了网站的人 ___ 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

Something like kldload snd_hda I am confused, because the handbook says the opposite: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/sound-setup.html To use your sound device, you will need to load the proper device driver. Then: If you are not sure which driver to use, you may try to load the snd_driver module: # kldload snd_driver This is a metadriver loading the most common device drivers at once. Even though I wish to use only the right driver, the manual didn't say how can I find which driver is the right one except trying with snd_driver. It didn't even mention what drivers are there on the system. One might expect it at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC but there is nothing mentioning sound card. You must replace snd_hda by the name of the driver for your card. I'd be glad to try that if you inform me what is the name of the driver for my card, or point me way to find this information:) Thanks for answering my mail! -- 我的博客： http://zhangweiwu.ixiezi.com/ 网站进化论 －－写给需要网站或后悔有了网站的人 ___ 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

I simply tried some out. If I remember right, mine was also not listed to work but worked with the driver I used as an example for you. Do not forget, the handbook is not necessarily written by the same person as the program.
