Google suggests that it's actually a Realtek ALC653 and there were difficulties getting it working in Linux. See : https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1622

Hi Peter, > Not 100% sure from the logs but you've got a lot of mixer channels muted, > maybe PCM isn't getting amped. Using audioctl and mixerctl I changed all the output settings that can be changed, one by one. Unfortunately no effect. Anyway I feel that if the outputs were wrong, this would not affect mplayer being able to play the file without freezing. >Also try 44100 Hz.

As far as I know, the BIOS is the only firmware existing on this computer. I'm on BIOS version 210. According to http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_Socket_939/A8VMX/#download the 2 BIOS updates more recent than this one are to "Support new CPUs." I wonder how accurate this info is (i.e. do they fail to mention other things the BIOS update achieves...). I'm kind of reluctant to flash the BIOS in case I brick the beast. Brett.

Re: No audio on auvia0 / "VIA VT8233 AC97"
Hey, could you try the following: aucat -dd -frsnd/0 -i whatever.wav and send me the output. If you don't have a .wav file, just use any large bonary file (ex /bsd) it will produce noise. If it hangs, while above process is still running, could you run: audioctl; sleep 1; audioctl and send me the output as well. This is to test whether the DMA engine works; mplayer freezing suggests DMA doesn't start. thanks. -- Alexandre
No audio on auvia0 / "VIA VT8233 AC97"
Hi, I've gotten an old computer and installed OpenBSD on it, to act as a media player. The problem is I have no sound. First attempt was i386-current, 2nd attempt was amd64-5.1. There are 2 audio minijack outputs, one from the sound ports attached to motherboard, the other is a plug leading to the front jack (there are 2 plugs to fit this connector, one labelled "ac97" the other "HD audio"). I've tried of all these, and also disconnecting the front jack altogether. Sound is tested with mplayer, with files of mp4, avi, mkv formats. $ mplayer -cache 1000 -vo sdl -ao null file.avi results in a great picture, with no frame drops $ mplayer -cache 1000 -vo sdl file.avi results in either a blank screen, or a picture that plays for a brief moment then freezes. Jumping forward (page up or arrow) either repeats this brief playback at the new location, or has no effect. I tried changing bios settings but no difference (disabling/enabling onboard AC97 was the only one that seemed related, but I tried usb1/2 etc as well). I don't have windows available to update bios, but from reading AMD erratas 89 and 97, they don't seem related anyway (see dmesg). My understanding is that auvia(4) should work on this machine. Is there something else I can try before getting a PCI soundcard? dmesg, pcidump, mixerctl, audioctl, and mplayer output below all came from amd64-5.1 and mplayer from packages: == OpenBSD 5.1 (GENERIC) #181: Sun Feb 12 09:35:53 MST 2012 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC real mem = 1072365568 (1022MB) avail mem = 1029746688 (982MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xf0720 (45 entries) bios0: vendor American Megatrends Inc. version "0210" date 09/05/2005 bios0: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
