But this information seems to be not always right (like in my case). The first problem is that I do not get errors, but also no sound. Thus, I searched on the Internet and I discovered that I was not the first with exactly the same problem: http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-15072.html http://groups.google.be/group/fa.freebsd.hackers/browse_thread/thread/ef6b040e3242e478/14323b0a79fca308?lnk=st&q=vt8235+%22no+sound%22+freebsd&rnum=5&hl=nl#14323b0a79fca308 Unfortunately there are no solutions in these posts. So I went to #freebsd on eu.undernet.org (xmpp:freebsd%irc.eu.undernet.org@irc.jaim.at?join for people with XMPP uri support ;-) ). After a some chatting, Predius said it was probably because my codec/chipset combination isn't supported by the module. My hardware and software: 1) dmesg: pcm0: port 0xe000-0xe0ff irq 5 at device 17.5 on pci0 pcm0: pcm0: 2) motherboard: A7V8X-X 3) chipset: VIA VT8235 4) tools to make sound: esound, mplayer, mpg123 5) via8233 module loaded with kldload without error messages: # ls /dev/dsp* /dev/dsp0.0 /dev/dsp0.2 /dev/dsp0.4 /dev/dspW0.0 /dev/dspW0.2 /dev/dspW0.4 /dev/dspr0.5 /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dsp0.3 /dev/dsp0.5 /dev/dspW0.1 /dev/dspW0.3 /dev/dspW0.5 Is there any way to fix this? (opensound is no solution for me) The second problem is that the supported hardware list do not indicate the supported codecs for each supported chipset. Maybe there can be subpages for every chipset on that page with all codecs that are supported on that chipset. It is a very bad end-user experience to discover after *many* hours that the supported hardware list is not complete. -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze. xmpp:sander@devrieze.dyndns.org ejabberd, the expandable Jabber daemon. -- http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/
