hi, I'm trying to get sound working on my hp pavilion zt1130 with
VIA VT82C686A chipset.

Here's the relevant info.

kernel is compiled with
device          pcm
options         PNPBIOS

$ cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <VIA VT82C686A> at io 0xe000 irq 9 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex)

$ dmesg|grep pcm
pcm0: <VIA VT82C686A> port 0xe104-0xe107,0xe100-0xe103,0xe000-0xe0ff irq 9
at device 17.5 on pci0

I've done MAKEDEV snd0, I can play cd's using cdcontrol just fine, and I
can cat files to /dev/dsp and /dev/audio for a short time.

dmesg gives some interesting errors.
at boot:
pnpbios: Bad PnP BIOS data checksum
when trying to play an mp3 with mpg123 or splay, I get nothing and this:
pcm0:play:0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead

I've read the following, which sounds similar to the case for this laptop
when I was getting sound to work with linux.  Playing a sound made it hang
shortly after starting it.  Strangely, it got fixed when I patched the
kernel to add ACPI support.  The problem had something to do with
non-compliant ACPI tables in the bios.

Has anyone been able to fix this or had the same problem?
Thanks,
Chris
