hi

Howto configure sound on freeBSD 8.1 Release?
I added these lines:
Code: 
# cat /boot/loader.conf
sound_load="YES"
snd_ich_load="YES"
but still doesn't work.

Code: 
# dmesg | grep multimedia
pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 17.5 (no driver attached)

# cat /dev/sndstat

Click to expand...
First, you can remove sound_load. It will be loaded automatically anyway if you load any driver.

Also, are you sure snd_ich(4) is the appropriate driver for your audio device? Find out using % pciconf -lv
 
Thx, I added the following lines in /boot/loader.conf:
Code: 
# cat /boot/loader.conf
[B][color="DarkGreen"]snd_via8233_load="YES"
hw.ata.atapi_dma=1
hw.ata.ata_dma=1[/color][/B]
and now it sems to work.
