Sound issue PC-BSD 9.0 on Lenovo Thinkpad R400

AB-stromer · #1 November 29th, 2012, 09:59

Hi all,

I am happy with FreeBSD and PC-BSD on my 3 systems, however with PC-BSD 9.0 on my Lenovo Thinkpad R400 I don't get sound regardless what I try. Would be glad if one of you experts have a hint for me!

Situation:

Parameters and tunings I have found in various postings to similar topics, tried out but have erased again as they have not been working in my case are:

/boot/loader.conf:

Code:

sound_load="YES"
snd_hda_load="YES"
snd_driver_load="YES"

/etc/sysctl.conf: (also tried with =0 ....)

Code:

/hw.snd.default_unit=1

/boot/device.hints:

Code:

hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid18.config="as=0"
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid17.config="as=1 seq=15 device=Headphones"
hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid22.config="as=1 seq=0"

Now, after erasing all these try-and-errors, the cleaned-up-again situation is as follows:

dmesg:

Code:

..
hdac0: <Intel 82801I High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xfc020000-0xfc023fff
irq 17 at device 27.0 on pci0
..
hdac0: HDA Codec #0: Conexant CX20561 (Hermosa)
pcm0: <HDA Conexant CX20561 (Hermosa) PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0
pcm1: <HDA Conexant CX20561 (Hermosa) PCM #1 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0
..

Code:

$ cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <HDA Conexant CX20561 (Hermosa) PCM #0 Analog> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <HDA Conexant CX20561 (Hermosa) PCM #1 Analog> (play/rec)

/etc/sysctl.conf:

Code:

hw.snd.default_auto=1

The sound is working with other operating systems so I mean it is not a broken hardware (just wanted to check the basics

)

Have yo tested your headphones output? Have you tried it in combination with hw.snd.default_unit=1?

Try adding these lines to your /etc/rc.conf file:

Code:

snddetect_enable="YES"
mixer_enable="YES"

I'm glad it helped. I'd go back and try some of those settings again in your first post you said you erased now that you do have some sound.
