Hi all, So far I've never needed to use audio on a FreeBSD guest under vmware2 but now I need one and seem not to be able to get audio to work. The machine is a Dell Inspiron 4100 notebook, 1200MHz Pentium 3 CPU, running a very recent -stable. Vmware2 runs fine and if I try to run a win98 guest audio works as well. However, a FreeBSD 4.6.1-R guest refuses to recognize the audio device at all. I've tried 'device pcm' and 'device pcm0 at isa? irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x0' in the kernel, I've tried kldload snd_pcm and I've tried kldload snd but all result in no audio. A 'cat /dev/sndstat' always returns the same: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: I've seen many reports about vmware2 with audio working without any problem when using -stable as guest so I think I'm just overlooking something simple here (at least I hope). At the host FreeBSD cat /dev/sndstat reveals: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <Intel 82801CA (ICH3)> at io 0xd800, 0xdc80 irq 11 bufsz 16384 (1p/2r/4v channels duplex) I've checked with lsof that no process keeps /dev/dsp0 occupied. A second thing, unrelated to audio but making my trying very painfull is the slow boot of the guest OS. Julian Elisher mentioned earlier in this list that slow mutex emulation can be fixed by enabling I386_CPU as well as the target cpu (I686_CPU in my case) in the kernel config but here it makes no difference.
