Sorry I forgot to explain my kernel configuration. I've built it with "de=
vice=20
pcm" in the config file, and also tried removing this, rebuilding, and d=
oing=20
"kldload snd_emu10k1" and "kldload snd" after boot, with the same result =
in=20
each case. Sound works in Windows, btw, so I don't think it's a problem w=
ith=20
the speakers, cables, etc.
For the record. I think I've found the problem. Looking at the source for=
the=20
driver I'm using (/sys/dev/sound/pci/emu10k1.c), it has the PCI ID for bo=
th=20
an emu10k1 (SB Live) and emu10k2 (SB Audigy) defined, but this appears to=
be=20
for later development of the driver:
----------
#define EMU10K1_PCI_ID 0x00021102
#define EMU10K2_PCI_ID 0x00041102
<<< big snip >>>
static int
emu_pci_probe(device_t dev)
{
char *s =3D NULL;
switch (pci_get_devid(dev)) {
case EMU10K1_PCI_ID:
s =3D "Creative EMU10K1";
break;
/* NOTICE COMMENTED OUT CODE HERE */
/*
case EMU10K2_PCI_ID:
s =3D "Creative EMU10K2";
break;
*/
default:
return ENXIO;
}
device_set_desc(dev, s);
return 0;
}
----------
So it looks like the code for handling the emu10k2 chips hasn't been writ=
ten=20
yet or something. My problem was that I'd altered this area of code to gi=
ve=20
me more information about another problem (don't ask...) and thought that=
the=20
comment commenting out the EMU10K2_PCI_ID case was my own, and removed it=
=2E
/me smacks head
Thanks for the help everyone.
