Intel HDA not working

[bbb]

Trying to get Intel HDA working on FreeBSD 6.1 on IBM z60t laptop. Everything looks fine, except that no sound is heard when running a player or osstest.

A strange thing with ossmix is that trying to set e.g. codec1.select2.vol to 100 gives something strange :

$ ./ossmix codec1.select1.vol 100
Value of mixer control codec1.select1.vol set to 100
$ ./ossmix
...
codec1.select3.vol <both/leftvol>[:<rightvol>] (currently 4:4)
...


Any hints on how to get the thing working would be greatly appreciated.

Try plugging a pair of headphones to see if audio is being routed to those outputs.


Does osstest result in any errors?

Forgot to mention before, but there is no sound with headsets too.

Also, osstest gives no errors.

I have no such laptop here. So all I can suggest is that you play around with ossxmix and see if one of those settings makes audio come out?. The fact that osstest isn't giving you errors implies that the audio is going to the device correctly. It's just one of the connections that isn't being made.

Well, will try to play around with ossmix. But what I'm really curious about is why ossmix behaves in such a strange way when setting volume (have already mentioned above)

$ ./ossmix codec1.select1.vol 100
Value of mixer control codec1.select1.vol set to 100
$ ./ossmix
...
codec1.select3.vol <both/leftvol>[:<rightvol>] (currently 4:4)
...

It seems to set the volume requested if it is below 30, but if above - some strange values are set ...

[bbb]

sorry, in the example with ossmix there is a typo. it was mentioned like

$ ./ossmix codec1.select3.vol 100

select3 is just for example, the same is with any other channel

I have the exact same issue here on the same laptop. It seems that I get a "click" when I run soundon, there's just no audio coming out.

Anyone come up with a solution for this yet?

Have you checked to see if the audio comes out the headphone port?

Yes, I have. There's no audio there either. This is the output from ossmix:

I should add that these controls really makes no sense to me.

I am facing a slightly different problem with my Acer TravelMate 4672LMi (Intel HDA ESB2).

I do hear sound but only at a very low volume that is almost inaudible.

I have the same strange behaviour of ossmix (ossmixer and ossxmix don't work) and moreover, it does not have any effect to change the volume in e.g. xmms. The mixer utility does not have any devices to set volumes for.

I know that the ACER travelmate can play audio via the headphone jack. To get ossxmix working just install XMMS and it will install the GTK/GLIB 1.x libs that are used to compile OSSXMIX.

I am currently using the headphone jack (SPDIF) as input for my stereo. The volume is too low at all for the internal speakers.

I do have xmms installed (before oss already), but still, ossxmix is not working.

Besides, does ossxmix offer any new features that ossmixer does not have?

[debolaz]

Is there anybody I can talk to about regarding this issue, a developer or something?

we've been working on ICH7 support and for some reason the documentation is not clear on what's going on.
