Re: Thinkpad audio question

It was mav (Alexander Motin), he proposed those hints after I complained that sound stopped working after update. He wondered how I got sound to work in the first place, with hints I had previously. I don't think pushing those specific hints somewhere would be so beneficial, subtle hardware revis

Re: Thinkpad audio question

For maximum verbosity you can also try setting in sysctl.conf hw.snd.verbose=3 and $ cat /dev/sndstat then. Not sure if you really need it though. As for man page, that was my experience as well, and I just shamelessly copied device.hints some kind spirit provided, so I'm not exactly pin

Good afternoon, In regards to partitioning, I have a question regarding a "rumor" that has been told to me by various different linux experts, and I wanted to confirm if this also takes place with FreeBSD Unix. In the past, I have always had the root filesystem (/) and the /usr filesystem all

See man snd_hda, you probably need to set device.hints. For example, I with T400 have something like this in device hints: hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid22.config="as=1 seq=15" hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid24.config="as=3" hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid26.config="as=1" hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid29.config="as=2" best regards, Ja

A friend of mine has an IBM T500 Thinkpad which is nearly identical to the one I have. We both have interesting audio issues. Any ideas as to why the problems explained below exist would be greatly appreciated. My T500 shows two devices /dev/mixer0 and /dev/mixer1 corresponding to pcm0 and pcm1
