Subject:   lost sound on via82686a
Message-ID:  <XFMail.010829081817.mj@isy.liu.se>

After cvsupping to 4.4-RC1 I suddenly lost the sound.

I have device pcm in my kernel config and the device is detected at boot:

dmesg |grep pcm0
pcm0: <VIA VT82C686A> port 0xb000-0xb003,0xb400-0xb403,0xb800-0xb8ff irq 9 at
device 4.5 on pci0

But there is no more sound:( It was working just before the update, and I have
run mergemaster to the best of my ability...


x11amp is quiet except for the error message "Unable to open the audio device".

rat says "RAT v4.2.13: Could not send mbus message (14:1)" (sometimes 15:1).

The "unable to open" led me to believe that the perms were wrong on the devices
but:

crwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel   30, 0x00030015 28 Aug 11:26 dspW1.3


The pcm manpage says that [mixer|audio|dsp]1 is the one to use and it has worked
before...

I tried to kldload snd_via82c686.ko but it says it is already there (even if the
.ko really isn't, but it is compiled into the kernel?)


So where did I go wrong? Can I have my sound back?
