sound problem

[jotawski]

Hi,

As of my last posting, http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=19522, I still have problem with the sound with my machine.

I have tried several ways but failed until now. [CMD=""]kldload snd_driver[/CMD] and [CMD=""]cat /dev/sndstat[/CMD] from UNIXgod suggestions give no clues of sound.

[wmc] ~# kldload snd_driver
[wmc] ~# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386)
Installed devices:
[wmc] ~# vidcontrol -P < /dev/ttyv7 > mysound.scr
[wmc] ~# cat /dev/uramdom > /dev/dsp
/dev/dsp: Operation not supported.
[wmc] ~# vidcontrol -P < /dev/ttyv7 > mysound.scr

oh yes, here is my /boot/loader.conf just for your informtions

[~] % su -l

[wmc] ~# cat /boot/loader.conf

Thanks in advanced for any helps and hints.

Your soundcard isn't supported. That's why snd_driver doesn't find anything.

What soundcard do you have?

Just 'su -' is the same thing.

[wmc] ~# cat /boot/loader.conf
...
snd_ich_load="YES"              # Intel ICH
...

snd_ich is for older ICH chipsets. ICH9 should be

snd_hda_load="YES"

That's all, don't load snd_driver.

I do not know exactly but it came with thinkpad r51e and used to produce nice musics for me. It seem to be broken since I upgraded from 7.3 to 8.0. But I do not believe so.
