No Sound with 9.0

Hello,

9.0 sound does not work for me. 8.2 worked with no problem. Followed
the instructions in the Handbook for both version.


# kldload snd_emu10k1 started sound right up with 8.2, not in 9.0.

In 9.0, running # kldload snd_driver and then # cat /dev/sndstat gives a reading of

Code: 
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <VIA VT8235> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <EMU10Kx DSP front PCM interface> (play/rec)
pcm2: <EMU10Kx DSP rear PCM interface> (play)
pcm3: <EMU10Kx DSP center PCM interface> (play)
pcm4: <EMU10Kx DSP subwoofer PCM interface> (play)
pcm5: <EMU10Kx DSP side PCM interface> (play)

Running # ls /dev/ds* yields

Code: 
/dev/dsp0.0
/dev/dsp0.1
/dev/dsp0.2
/dev/dsp1.0
/dev/dsp2.0

Then # cat junk > /dev/dsp2 makes a sound in the headphones, the others don't.


Could the drivers have changed? Can I copy my 8.2 snd_emu10k1 to 9.0
/boot/kernel?


Thanks
 
Use

# sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=[i]i[/i]

where i is from 1 to 5, to identify the correct sound device.

Add hw.snd.default_unit=i to /etc/sysctl.conf so that the setting is still correct after reboot.
 
Thanks T1066,

Worked like magic.

Adding " hw.snd.default_unit=2" to /etc/sysclt.conf didn't seem to
work. On reboot, I still had to run "kldload snd_driver" by hand.

So I'm now using to little scripts.

To start music:

# kldload snd_emu10k1
kldload snd_driver
sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=2

To end:

# kldunload snd_emu10k1
kldunload snd_driver

Thanks again.

Of course it won't work when no valid driver has been loaded yet.

Add snd_emu10k1_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf, add the other line to /etc/sysctl.conf and everything will work fine.
