Open Sound System

Hate to start another HDA thread, but... I've got a Tecra M5 laptop with a STAC9200 based HDA chipset. Running -CURRENT I get these errors when loading OSS:

I've booted both a uniprocessor kernel and also a 6.1-BETA4 generic kernel which give the same results. Scanpci gives this output:

Hi,

THis is a known problem with Intel 945 chips and we're working on the problem. Only Intel 915 and 925 chips work with the HDAudio driver.

Ah, very good. Thanks for the quick feedback.

Hi,

I'm having exactly the same problem; I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 (E1705) and it too has the STAC9200 audio chipset. Is there support being planned for this chipset down the line, and are there any ETA's on when it might be supported?

Thanks,
Sebastiaan

Hi,


We've been working on the Intel 945 + Sigmatel problem - the thing we know is that the Intel 945 controller is working fine if the mobo has a Realtek codec (ECS 945-PA mobo)

Still no exact date but hopefully soon.

Dev

Any new updates on this? The return of silent films leaves much to be desired !

still trying to figure out why!. The RealTek, CMedia and Analog Devices HD codecs work just fine. We're going over Analog Devices codec datasheets line by line and comparing it with others.


Yes it's frustrating but that is the news.

Is there a mailing list we can join to find out about updates on this issue? I have a dell inspiron E1505 with a Sigmatel STAC9200 Codec, and this is what I get on the command line on FreeBSD 6.1:

Thanks!

Yea, it would be really cool if they could find an update for this. I'm using the e1505 also and my prodaudio applications says I don't have any midi devices available. I guess I'm stuck to my 'unportable' desktop until they find the fix.

Finally it's working!. We've just tested it out on a Intel 945 DPT mobo. Get OSS 3.99.4b version.


Please report problems to support@opensound.com

Hi,
I've toshiba tecra m5 106 and I can't still run sound. ACPI is off for test. Device control by OS i disabled in BIOS. I'm running freebsd 6.1



This is strange:



I think that there should be something more




Everything seems to works fine, but while i run osstest i can't hear anything. the same history when i runs xmms in xfce4 ... scope is moving but there is no sound.



select2.vol is 15:15 select4.vol is 7:7 so i sould hear something ... (i don't know why i can't set more ? Is it maximum ?)

I don't know what else i could do

Thanks for any help

have anyone succeed with sound on tecra m5 and i'm doing something wrong or it's not working properly .. yet ?

Salute !

Got the same problem with my Asus A8Jc. Everything looks ok, but no sound. Tried version 3.99.4b and 4.0 build 161. Autodetect sets ESB2 driver for Intel HDA.
