Solved [Solved]Realtek ALC892 stopped working how to best diagnose?

[Chris_H]

Greetings all. This is somewhat of a revisit to a similar topic/subject I had with HDA/PCM drivers. Only this time, everything worked just fine, until I tested a new DVD/RW with the DesktopBSD DVD. I powered down, hooked up the DVD, and inserted the DesktopBSD DVD into the new DVDRW. Then booted to the "live" DesktopBSD DVD. I'm running 8.4-STABLE (FreeBSD). I did NOT attempt to install DesktopBSD. I only wanted to make sure the DVDRW worked as it should. But the Live version of DesktopBSD uses the KDE-3 window manager, and I'm afraid that it made changes to the way my sound is wired/used. How can I best diagnose, and recreate a working (sound) system?

Oh. Almost forgot to note; I hear a "pop" sound on a regular basis. Kind of like the system is initing the output (headphones, in this case).

Specifications follow:
cat /boot/loader.conf

verbose_loading="YES"
linux_load="YES"
sound_load="YES"
snd_hda_load="YES"              # HDA sound
nvidia_load="YES"                 # Nvidia blob

I'm running the Xfce4 window manager. I will happily provide any additional information, as desired/required.

Thank you very much, for all your time, and consideration.

Re: Realtek ALC892 stopped working, how to best diagnose?

What does the output of cat /dev/sndstat look like? With the changes you made, the default sound device may have been changed/reset to something other than the RT-ALC892.

Re: Realtek ALC892 stopped working, how to best diagnose?

OK. I just powered down the box again. Then powered it up, and the sound is working. So I guess my question now is: how can I lock in the current settings. So I don't have to deal with this sort of nonsense again?

Following is the current state(s)

Also, what information can I add to /etc/sysctl.conf, and to /boot/device.hints? How can I get the relevant sysctl output for the current state of the sound?

Thank you for all your time, and consideration.

Re: Realtek ALC892 stopped working, how to best diagnose?

Greetings, and thank you for the reply.

What does the output of cat /dev/sndstat look like? With the changes you made, the default sound device may have been changed/reset to something other than the RT-ALC892.

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Realtek ALC892 (Rear Analog 7.1/2.0)> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <Realtek ALC892 (Front Analog)> (play/rec)
pcm2: <Realtek ALC892 (Rear Digital)> (play)
pcm3: <USB audio> (rec)

Please note that this was also the exact same output I saw when the card did not work.

Thanks again for your reply.

Re: Realtek ALC892 stopped working, how to best diagnose?

In trying to follow your posts as near as I can tell you: I booted to a DesktopBSD live DVD to test a new DVDRW device, lost your sound, blamed FreeBSD, rebooted to FreeBSD, got your sound back, and wanted to blame FreeBSD again for this "nonsense". It seems like the problem was the DesktopBSD live DVD. Am I missing something? How is FreeBSD to blame for any of this?

I have zero idea how you would interpret this. Just so that you understand:

1. I spun up a live version of DesktopBSD, which has a KDE3 window manager.
2. Because of this, the sound settings became altered.
3. Booting into my (on disk) 8.4-STABLE FreeBSD system left me without sound (because the live DVD altered the sound settings).

Any questions?

Re: Realtek ALC892 stopped working, how to best diagnose?

The sound hardware got set to a configuration that was not cleared on reset. It took a full power down to clear it.

Thank you, @wblock@!

That's exactly what I suspected. However. It wasn't until several power-down's that I got a working configuration. It wasn't clear that I'd ever get it back w/o without reconfiguring.
I don't suppose there's any way to record a working setup, that could be "reloaded" if need be? I guess what I'm trying to get at, is that I don't know where all of the settings are, and are kept. Currently mine "just happend", with the exception of the two entries in /boot/loader.conf:

sound_load="YES"           # OSS (FreeBSD)
snd_hda_load="YES"         # HDA sound

Which settings are in are stored in sysctl()? Or better; how do I retrieve them, to put them into /etc/sysctl.conf?

Thank you again, @wblock@, for taking the time to respond -- it's greatly appreciated.

Re: Realtek ALC892 stopped working, how to best diagnose?

All I've used on recent hardware is

snd_hda_load="YES"

Try that by itself to see if it is enough, and if it might have fewer problems.

Thanks for the reply, @wblock@.

That's the way I set it up about six months ago, when I performed the initial install. But it didn't maintain a working setup, until after few power downs.

Oh well. Maybe enough power downs will be enough. I just thought it'd be a good idea to "record" a working setup. So I could guarantee a working sound system, if/when things "go south".

Thanks again for the reply, @wblock@.

Re: Realtek ALC892 stopped working, how to best diagnose?

Greetings, again.

After some further investigation. It appears I can cobble something up utilizing the relevant portions of a sysctl -ae. Then I can simply apply the (now correct) settings, should they ever get corrupted again. By making a shell script to set the current state via sysctl(). Maybe I'll look into all of this further, if I get the time, and make a port that sets up sound hardware on FreeBSD.
