(stereo,... is fine) - sorry about this off-topic question, and thanks again. regards, Rick. ______________________________________________________________ From: Ariff Abdullah To: "Rick Nekus" CC: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: mutlimedia : snd_hda/driver ; No Sound, not loading properly ; Asus P5B Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:59:33 +0800 >On Wed, 18 Apr 2007 11:22:52 +0000 >"Rick Nekus" wrote: >[...] > > > > # uname -a > > FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE-200704 i386 > > -(theres no X, kde,... yet) > > # dmesg | grep -i ^pcm > > pcm0: mem > > 0xfebfc000-0xfebfffff irq 22 at device 27.0 on pci0 > > pcm0: TCSEL: 0x00 -> 0x00 > > pcm0: DMA Coherency: Uncacheable / vendor=0x8086 > > pcm0: hdac_mem_alloc: Unable to allocate memory resource > > > >No idea, due to lack of hardware.
