Attempting to add a generic card that claims to have a Envy24DT chipset
in it; it identifies and loads under the snd_envy24ht driver as:
pci6: <multimedia, audio> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
pcm0: <Envy24HT audio (Generic)> port 0xcc00-0xcc1f,0xc880-0xc8ff irq 16
at device 0.0 on pci6
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0: system configuration
SubVendorID: 0x1412, SubDeviceID: 0x2403
XIN2 Clock Source: 24.576MHz(96kHz*256)
MPU-401 UART(s) #: not implemented
ADC #: 1 and SPDIF receiver connected
DAC #: 4
Multi-track converter type: AC'97(SDATA_OUT:packed)
S/PDIF(IN/OUT): 1/1 ID# 0x00
GPIO(mask/dir/state): 0xff/0xff/0xff
cat /dev/sndstat returns:
[root at NewFS /boot/kernel]# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Envy24HT audio (Generic)> at io 0xcc00:32,0xc880:128 irq 16
(1p:1v/5r:1v) default
So it appears it did attach properly.
But.... an attempt to output something to /dev/dsp0 looks like it is,
but nothing happens (no sound)
ie:
# sysctl -w hw.snd.verbose=2
# mpg123 some-mp3-file &
# sndstat | more

Mixer says the volume is on:

Ideas for further troubleshooting?

Did you test the obvious things? Speakers connected correctly? Does mpg123 work well? Try another player also. Ronald.

If that does not work, increase volume for everything and just see if you get any output. Maybe the driver got its lines mixed up? mixer speaker 75:75 mixer mix 75:75 ... I am not a sound guy. The last time I messed with sound, there were some mixer line labels that didn't make sense to me on the card I was using at the time. It was a long time ago. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert at lambertfam.org

While the Envy family had of course a generic chip design, there wasn't a generic card design. So every Envy card is different and needs a different driver. The snd_envy24ht driver solves this problem with distinct device sections for each supported devices. See envy24ht.c line 279. If no device section could be found the card is detected as "generic" and a default device section is used. That may or may not work... So the solution would be to add a device section for your card but that's everything but easy. In an ideal world there would be a datasheet for that card, in reality it may be necessary to reverse engineer it. And there are other problems with the driver: - It's not MPSAFE (at least it's not marked MPSAFE) - Recording doesn't work - The debug mode is prone to panics - All channels supported by the Envy chip are exposed to the mixer regardless if they're connect in hardware or not. This leads to invalid channels. I've once had the idea to clean it up but never found the time. Nevertheless it still would be really nice if someone could give this driver some love. :) Ciao, Yamagi -- Homepage: www.yamagi.org XMPP: yamagi at yamagi.org GnuPG/GPG: 0xEFBCCBCB
