The following reply was made to PR kern/40711; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Dan Naumov <dan.naumov@ofw.fi> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: RE: kern/40711: CT5880-C sometimes fails to output sound Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2003 04:56:57 +0300 I am experiencing very similar issues on my system as well: ======================================== FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 5.0-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p7 #0: Mon Apr 7 05:17:14 EEST 2003 root@localhost.localdomain:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JAGO i386 pcm0: <Creative CT5880-C> port 0xe400-0xe43f irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci0 ======================================== While sound seems to work most of the time, sometimes, it just seems to "vanish" for no (visible) reason whatsoever. When trying to play a sound in XMMS, I get the "Couldn't Open Audio" error box that suggests that I check that nothing else is blocking sound, my output plugin is configured correctly, etc. If I start XMMS from console, the following error is printed into the console: ======================================== ** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No such file or directory ======================================== When I use vchans and force XMMS OSS plugin to use /dev/dsp0.X (where X is a number) I get a "Device is busy" error, yet, fstat and lsof show nothing that would be using the devices. What's even more bizarre is that SOMETIMES, simply clicking the play button again will remedy the problem (ie. sound will magically start working), unfortunately most often I have to reboot in order to get sound working again. This is also not an XMMS-only problem (obviously) as it happens with any sound-using app I use (mplayer, games, etc). Please, let me know if somebody has a proper test case to help isolate the problem and if more information is required. I'll be glad to help. Sincerely, -- Dan Naumov <dan.naumov [at] ofw.fi>help
