There is no driver for the Geode 5530 in FreeBSD at the moment. However, there is a preliminary driver available at: http://63.249.85.132/gx_audio/index.html This driver was written for FreeBSD 4.6, so it will probably not work, or even compile. This would probably serve as a good project for...

Do other audio applications, like mplayer, xmms, xine and vlc work? What version of FreeBSD are you running? Which sound driver are you using?

The RELENG_8 branch hasn't been created yet because 8 is still CURRENT. In your csup configuration file, use "tag=." to fetch 8. Once RELENG_8 is created (and CURRENT goes 9), switch to "tag=RELENG_8" instead.

Grab /usr/src from your nearest cvsup server.

The entire sound part in the handbook needs to be rewritten. Not going to happen anytime soon though, unless someone else does it.

Fixed, thanks.

AngryKoala: my advice is to stick with 8-CURRENT. 8.0 will hopefully ship within a month or so. The USB system in 8.0 has been significantly updated and it is unlikely that USB in 7.x will see any greater changes (but patches for problems are of course welcome).

I updated the pcm(4) manual page yesterday. Now it at least explains some of the new features. If something seems awkward or wrong, please tell us. To get the latest version of the manpage, you need to use csup to grab a fresh copy of CURRENT. I don't think BETA1 contains the latest version.

What version of FreeBSD are you using?

corneliu: Put snd_driver_load="YES" into /boot/loader.conf and reboot. This will load all available sound drivers. If that doesn't work, remove the previus line and try to load just the emu10kx driver instead with: snd_emu10kx_load="YES"

This is definitely not the wrong place to ask. We have several developers browsing our forum on a daily basis and we use (for example) this subforum to reach users who may find mailing lists difficult for some reason. Gathering testers for new features is an excellent example since thay can...

Yea, thats the new Volume Per Channel (VPC) stuff.

There are many sites building and publishing snapshots on the web, but remember that these are not built by the FreeBSD Project release engineering team, and are not in any way "official".

No, I don't think so. You have to csup to the latest 8-CURRENT anyway to get a bunch of fixes to sound/ that were committed after the mega-commit by ariff@.

Ariff Abdullah (ariff@) has committed some major work to the FreeBSD sound system. All of this will be available in the upcoming 8-RELEASE. More testers are needed and we would especially like to hear about any regressions. To test this, just upgrade to the latest 8-CURRENT and make sure sound...

FreeBSD does not support the Creative X-FI soundcard. Maybe if you try the OSS port.

What version of FreeBSD are you running? Please post a verbose pcm message from boot. You could take a look at the snd_hda(4) and sound(4) man pages for some configuration options. There are some things you can tweak to see if you get sound. Btw, you don't need snd_ich_load="YES" or...

For the record: all the latest fixes for envy cards from Konstantin will be in the 8.0 release.
