On my new system, the onboard sound device works if you kldload the module, but not at boot, whether by loader.conf, or built into the kernel. Here is a screen dump showing the issue.

Title : Great Pretender Artist: Stan Freberg Album : Year : 0 Comment: Genre : Unknown Directory: /home/robbak/music/mp3/comedy/ Playing MPEG stream from stan freberg - the great pretender.mp3 ... MPEG 1.0 layer III, 128 kbit/s, 44100 Hz joint-stereo And I have sound. Interestingly, at boot, the two pcm devices are detected in the reverse order. This may be significant, because the first pcm device is marked in /dev/sndstat as 'mixer only'. See the following dmesg, and note the memory addresses. $ dmesg |grep pcm pcm0: <ATI (Unknown) High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xfdffc000-0xfdffffff irq 19 at device 5.2 on pci1 pcm0: [ITHREAD] pcm1: <ATI SB600 High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xfe024000-0xfe027fff irq 16 at device 20.2 on pci0 pcm1: [ITHREAD] pcm0: <HDA Codec: Unknown Codec> pcm0: <HDA Driver Revision: 20071129_0050> pcm1: <HDA Codec: Realtek ALC885> pcm1: <HDA Driver Revision: 20071129_0050> pcm0: detached pcm1: detached pcm0: <ATI SB600 High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xfe024000-0xfe027fff irq 16 at device 20.2 on pci0 pcm0: [ITHREAD] pcm0: <HDA Codec: Realtek ALC885> pcm0: <HDA Driver Revision: 20071129_0050> pcm1: <ATI (Unknown) High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xfdffc000-0xfdffffff irq 19 at device 5.2 on pci1 pcm1: [ITHREAD] pcm1: <HDA Codec: Unknown Codec> pcm1: <HDA Driver Revision: 20071129_0050> And /dev/sndstat, for completeness Code: $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2007061600/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: <ATI SB600 High Definition Audio Controller> at memory 0xfe024000 irq 16 kld snd_hda [20071129_0050] [MPSAFE] (1p:2v/1r:1v channels duplex default) pcm1: <ATI (Unknown) High Definition Audio Controller> at memory 0xfdffc000 irq 19 kld snd_hda [20071129_0050] [MPSAFE] (mixer only) Searches have located a few questions like this, but not many answers. I'll hack it by loading the module from rc.conf, but is anything known about this?home | help
