Open Sound System

Same happens here with a selfcompiled old ass 4.1 build, oss_cmi8788 and snv_117.

Now nothing works. Every OSS application reports a problem with the device. osstest works exactly one, afterwards the device's busy.

Actually, do make it work, I had to do it that way:

- Installing the package.
- Reboot.
- ossdevlinks -vr
- Reboot.
- ossdevlinks -vr again.

Haven't rebooted anymore since then, hope it doesn't start again like with an earlier build I've used, where I had to ossdevlinks every reboot.

What does support for Boomer mean? API level, or could you run individual drivers under Boomer?

There's no sudo in Solaris. It's pfexec.

Hg changeset v4.1-080619 (i.e. from yesterday) fixed sadasupport for me. \o/

The latest tarball of 4.1 made vmix work, sadasupport still whines about this:

May 24 21:48:30 hyperborea sadasupport: [ID 998106 kern.warning] WARNING: ldi_ioctl(SNDCTL_AUDIOINFO) failed, err=22

I can't get either sadasupport nor vmix to work with the cmi8788 driver. OSS 1015. With sadasupport, it attaches fine, but when trying to play something back with SADA, the syslog starts filling with this: May 24 21:48:30 hyperborea sadasupport: [ID 998106 kern.warning] WARNING: ldi_ioctl(SNDCTL...

Yay, I've output on the front. Since it took me three days of poking in the dark (i.e. lack of docs), I'll continue on it this weekend only. Getting the other DAC up should go quickly now. As far as the other Xonar's go, that'll probably end in a theoretical exercise.

We've sent a message to the CMedia guys about the driver. Lets see if they have new info about the Xonar device. Did you try running osstest and plugging a pair of speakers in each of the output jacks? Tried all the different outputs, even the SPDIF input for fun. Nothing. I'm currently trying to m...

Newer Solaris build (OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2) and the driver now works. There's actually no output at all because it's the wrong DAC, I'm poking with a stick at it, but to no avail yet. I'm taking clues from the ALSA driver, but as of yet, I haven't managed to make it output sound.

Turns out the CMI8788 on the Xonar is not so much the same. The Linux ALSA folks have a seperate driver for the Xonar, based on the existing CMI8788 one. That's kind of strange, because the same time, you can drive it with the regular CMI8788 driver in Windows.

Just so that one thing's clear, the device works fine in Windows Vista. So it's not faulty. Ok, here's the deal: That card is simply a CMI8788 behind a PCIe bridge (of type PEX8112). OSS finds the card and attaches the driver, but that's it. Operating system is Solaris Nevada snv_76. Next upgrade ha...

Nevermind. It's simply sblive.conf being ignored. Well, that's great.

Does the hardware mixing on EMU10Kx cards on the Solaris version of the driver even work? I've sblive_devices set to 16 and vmix not loaded. Still, I can't play more than one audio stream, any other application reports the device busy. --edit: ossinfo -a -v Audio devices SB Audigy2 main /dev/oss/sbl...
