Driver fails to attach ...

[roman_austria]

Hi,

on SXCE b103 I have the problem that OSS cannot install
properly. The OSS version is 'oss-solaris-v4.1-1050-i386.pkg'.
It is built from the current mercurial repository.

Before b101 OSS always worked when I built it with the sources
from the mercurial repository. OSS was my last resort, because
the Solaris driver for audiohd didn't work. But since b101 the Solaris
driver works and OSS fails.

The reason is that the driver fails to attach.

Hi,

If you have OSS b1016 then you need to remove that and reboot and then install build 1050.


The driver names and bindings have changed and that is the reason you need to pkgrm oss and reboot before installing 1050.


The other thing you can try is reboot and then run ossdetect.

Hi Dev,

ossdetect isn't available on the system. After pkgrm oss I rebooted with init 6, and then installed the package again. But with the same result. My guess is that oss-hdaudio is bound to a different pci-adress than oss-hdaudio used when oss-pkg has been installed. When I utter 'scanpci' I get the following for the audio:

Code: Select all

pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x14 function 0x02: vendor 0x1002 device 0x437b
 ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio



When I look for the output of:

Code: Select all

# prtconf -D | grep audio
        pci30b0,103c, instance #0 (driver name: oss_hdaudio)



The output of ossinfo is:

Code: Select all

bash-3.2$ ossinfo

Maybe I have to update the driver to use 'pci30b0,103c' instead of 'pci1002,437b'?

Hi Dev,

after update_drv to add another alias to oss_hdaudio

Code: Select all

update_drv -a -i '"pci30b0,103c"'


ossxmix showed up which didn't work before. osstest worked with errors. The only thing left is that GNOME doesn't recognize the mixer device. Could you please assist me to get that work too?

Greetings

I assume that the gnome-volume-control in Solaris is similar to Linux in that it uses gstreamer.
If this is the case check whether with gstreamer plugins bad installed that a libgstoss4audio library file exists.
If not then you may need to update to a newer version of gstreamer.

You are right. Solaris uses the GStreamer. I built the oss4 and copied the generated files into /usr/lib. Now there is a libgstoss4audio.so in this directory, but it doesn't work. Do I have to compile the whole GStreamer bad packages?

I think you should try running ldconfig (or the Solaris equivalent) first. Does "gst-inspect oss4" find the oss4 plugin?

[h3sp4wn]

Solaris doesn't need ldconfig.

There is crle has some of the functions of ld.so.conf (and more)

If you wanted gstreamer plugins in /usr/local you would have to use crle. (I wouldn't recommend it though)

Hi,

it has been a long time since the last install, but I encounter still the same error. By now I am using b112. And the error is again: Failed to attach the driver.

This time I downloaded the package and did not built it myself. OSS version 4.1 Build 1052.
