Not from me. I canned the 6100 & reverted to the 6000. Sound is essential for me on a "production" laptop when I'm travelling... > Last entry I found here > was from Andy Sparrow (Oct 09, 2001) and with a 4.5-STABLE of yesterday I > still get the same results that Andy reported: > kldload snd_meastro3 > > pcm0: irq 5 at device 3.0 on pci2 > pcm0: unable to allocate register space > device_probe_and_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6 > > Yielding an empty /dev/sndstat while kldstat shows that snd_meastro3.ko > is loaded. There is no bios option to disable PNP OS in this Omnibook. Because all the supported OS's for this machine are PNP OS... That's HP's stance, apparently. > So no working sound :( Any new things I could try ? ISRT that the explanation at the time was that the BIOS isn't allocating the resources for the device, thus the OS has to do it - but we don't. I tried November's -CURRENT hoping that ACPI would do a better job, but it made the laptop crash on boot. I provided the output of acpidump at the time - you might like to try a recent -CURRENT snapshot, and see if this works now, because this is The Way Forward, I guess. Disabling ACPI let the machine boot. I found a combination of settings on -CURRENT that actually let me get sound (wheee!), but wouldn't give me something else I considered vital at the same time - PCCARD, IIRC. There was another guy working the same problems in December, see the -CURRENT lists. Don't know how that ended up - I sold mine to a co-worker who wanted to run Win2K & Linux on it... Good luck!!
