snd_hda: 7.2 and 8.0 failed for me.

Dear guys,
I am bit frustrated with the sound configuration.
I never have chance to play a single sound on my box.

I dont have any problem with my sound card, it is working with M$ and Ubuntu.

I have google around and joined mailing list, but not luck yet.

When i am playing a mp3 file with xmms, there is a red light inside the jack-in for the head/earphone. When i stop the xmms player, the light is gone.
I assuming there are somewhere make the sound mute,

What i have now is.
[CMD=]uname -a[/cmd]
Code: 
FreeBSD  8.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 #2: Sat Dec 19 12:22:50 MYT 2009     root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

[CMD=]cat /dev/sndstat[/cmd]

Mixer rec      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer monitor  is currently set to  75:75

Any suggestion what i need to do,
Oh yea i have played around pin-configuration, but still no luck. Currently i am using default pin-configuration.

Have you tried other players? xmms is outdated try mplayer or audacious2. I had other problem with sound but using latest audacious2 version fixed it. May be it will help you too..

Installing now, will let you later.

What is output of kldstat? Also, check the other thread:

I have seen this thread before, but i cant find the solution.

With HDA you'll need to configure what output does what.

Have a look at the snd_hda(4) manpage.

Do you mean the pin-configuration that setup in the /boot/loader.conf ?
I have read the snd_hda man page, try to configure the pin for nid, but still no luck.
If that is really what you meant, i will upload later my dmesg with verbose.

Yes, that's what I meant.
 
Start playing with sysctl hw.snd.default_unit
try

# sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=0
# sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=1

also do

# ls -al /dev/dsp*

then

# cat > /dev/dsp
# cat > /dev/dsp<your device specific details here>

and see if you get a sound out of your speakers.

I have attached the redirection file from command $ dmesg | grep hda
And as well i have attached /boot/loader.conf, just want to show which nid/pin that i have tried to modify/configure.
$ sysctl | grep hda just for additional information.
i cut dmesg file info to be 2 since my file exceed the limitation. I think you dont need the second dmesg_grep_hda2.txt

Hope you could guide me to fix the my sound problem.

I have tried both values, but nothing happened

I just noticed in my FreeBSD 8.0 system, i could not find any dsp file under /dev/.
But i am sure when i was using the 7.2, there are some dsp files listed under /dev
If I could recall it looks something like following$ ls /dev/dsp*
Code: 
/dev/dsp0
/dev/dsp0.1
/dev/dsp1
/dev/dsp1.1
 
Without the /dev/dsp* special nodes, applications simply cannot access the sound driver.

See my case,

I am sorry, i did a big mistake on previous thread. I am really sorry, i was not pay much attention, on it. This what i got when on my laptop,
$ ls /dev/dsp*
Code: 
/dev/dsp0.0
/dev/dsp1.0
And when i do $ cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp1.0, it appear red light from the jack-input. dsp0 didnt get the red light.
But still both of them, not producing the sound
 
Just thoughts:
I used to read that radeon driver has "audio" option to set up codecs.
You only have pcm0 and pcm1, usually there are 3 or 4 pcms for hda.
What driver Ubuntu loads?
Did you try PCBSD? It's more preconfigured perhaps possible to get a clue.
What if start from scratch and
Code: 
# kldunload snd_hda
# kldload snd_driver
# cat /dev/sndstat
$ cat [FILE]any_file[/FILE] > /dev/dsp
any noise after last command?

Kurang paham coba bantu saja...

I think i was using ALSA sound driver.

No, I have not tried before. Do you think just trying on its LiveCD of PCBSD should be okay? I just dont want to do a hard installation, for a shake getting some sounds.

Yes, It loads all driver, and again the output /dev/sndstat and cat $ cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp are the same.
I believe i load the correct driver my sound card, which is snd_hda, i have checked it in Google.

In Linux should be a command "alsa-config" or something like this (sorry forgot) it opens pseudographical interface where F5 of F6 (it written there) reveals/switches sound devices. What device is working in Ubuntu?
Since PCBSD is FreeBSD its config should work on FreeBSD too. If you have sound with PCBSD live CD you may check their sound config. Another LiveCDs are Frenzy1.1 and RoFreeSBIE1.3 that even have some extra tools but they both are based on 6.x (6.3 possibly) so I would start with PCBSD.
Here is a thread with autoscript and discussion - may be can help.
Finally I'd even try to borrow a sound pci card and try if it works on your mobo with FreeBSD. If it doesn't maybe some installation errors? What's your mobo btw?
It's strange that nobody posted yet their experience with same chip like yours...
May be start new thread in System Hardware and mention your mobo and the chip?

I have clear Ubuntu installation from my partition.:e
I will try later see device in alsa-config, on ubuntu livecd. And as well try on PCBSD livecd.

I have seen that thread long time ago, when I was using 7.2, and it is supporting what i found in google which snd_hda is my correct sound driver.
For your information, I am using a joybook t31 laptop.
Thanks for the respond.
 
You wrote "box" but it was a "slab" :)
Laptops are so...special and always need to pay for windoze. My wife bought for herself vaio vgn-nr430d without asking me what she's buying...it was smart: indeed I don't use it... because result=windows vista only, even w7 isn't supported (but running), linux - running but ubuntu has problem with mousepad, suse barely installable, best=mandriva but also not a pleasure: screen is not bright enough. As to freebsd, "ram parity error, likely hardware fault" - that's what it says and drops to db> prompt. will try to install manually, who knows.

Your machine looks much better: just get a sound. What if you try 8-stable or even 9-current? I run 9-current on 2 boxes - runs like a charm. And also: try to post in System Hardware.

Except pin configuration, on laptops often important to find valid GPIO signals configuration, as every model potentially different there.
