VIA VT1708_8

Hello friends,

Recently I've installed FreeBSD 11.0 on Fujitsu Siemens laptop, nearly every hardware works out of the box, but soundcard isn't working correctly. Could you please provide me some hints? Logs are below.

Thread 49688

Rather than copy/pasting some of the /boot/device.hints entries, I would recommend dumping the gpio pins. snd_hda(4)has the information to decipher and alter the gpio pins but IMHO, it is a challenging read. Otherwise, post the pin dump.
 
Here it is.

snd_driver is not needed for this version of FreeBSD - the driver you need is statically included in the default kernel.

I cannot make any sense of your pin dump. All gpio pins have an as=15 which disables (DISA) the pin.

I would remove snd_driver, if you have it loading, and regenerate the pin dump. If the pin dump is without snd_driver or the pin dump is unchanged from above, I would post the model # of your laptop and pciconf.
 
shepper this is dump without snd_driver. pciconf is listed above. Laptop model is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo La1703.
 
I searched for FreeBSD + Amilo La1703 and Linux + Amilo La1703 and this does not appear to be a very friendly laptop. I would double check the bios to make sure the sound card is enabled and does not emulate SB16 (old SoundBlaster). Failing that, if FreeBSD is really important I would consider trying the audio/oss alternative sound system - worked in this Thread 29446. Or waiting to see if someone else, who might have an answer, responds.
