The rest of the hardware just started working as they should have but I couldn't get audio working though this is a quite common setup I reckon. Dmesg says: pcm0: port 0xee80-0xeebf,0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfebff400-0xfebff4ff,0xfebff800-0xfebff9ff irq 7 at device 31.5 on pci0 pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] pcm0: sndstat says: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0xfebff800, 0xfebff400 irq 7 bufsz 16384 kld snd_ich (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default) I got a hint that I should tinker with sysctl and sysctl -w hw.snd.pcm0.enable_spdif=1 or something similar. However there doesn't seem to be such oid, only these are available for hw.snd.*: hw.snd.targetirqrate: 32 hw.snd.report_soft_formats: 1 hw.snd.verbose: 1 hw.snd.unit: 0 hw.snd.maxautovchans: 0 hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize: 16384 hw.snd.pcm0.vchans: 0 hw.snd.pcm0.ac97rate: 48000 The device files seem to be around as far as I can notice and the mixer levels seem to be fine as well. Alas no audio. (Analogs work but I won't use them.) Oof. If I can't get the spdif output it's a blocker for me. Am I out of luck here? _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
