[nycbug-talk] Another Question about freeBSD

[Ryan Seu]

Hey everyone,

I, the noobie, am once again in need of some help :)

Actually, there are two issues I'm trying to resolve with freeBSD.

Question 1. I'm trying to get my sound card working. I managed to load
the generic sound driver (kldload snd_driver). I verified it by doing
(cat [file_name] > /dev/dsp ). It works fine until I try starting up
KDE. When the KDE is loading up, the intro-sound runs but hangs in the
middle. I went to the KDE controller to test the audio but nothing
comes out. I exit from KDE and go back to the terminal to verify the
sound (again, cat [file_name] > /dev/dsp) but nothing comes out this
time. Any suggestions? I'm aware of the fact that "snd_driver"
attempts to load up all the sound drivers until a match occurs (I
think).

when I type kldload snd_driver, I get few lines of the following:

sio1: configured ieq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled


Then I get the following:

pcm0: <Intel ICH (82801EB)> port 0xedc0-0xedff, 0xee00-0xeeff mem
0xfeb7f900-0xfeb7f99f, 0xfeb7fa00-0xfeb7fbff irq 17 at device 31.5 on
pci0
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0: <Analog Devices AD1980 AC97 Codec>


Question 2. I'm also have an issue with my CD-ROM (actaully DVD/CD-RW
Combo but for now, I'm just trying to get the CD-ROM to work). I
checked the fstab and see the following line:

/dev/acd0           /cdrom       cd9660         ro,noauto        0      0

Unfortunately, when I look for acd0 in /dev/ I can't find it. I
checked dmesg but didn't find anything that looks like acd0. Any
suggestions?
