[ivoronin]

I've tried to install OSS v4.0-1012 and 4.1test0 on my MacBook, running snv_78 - all looks fine, but i have no sound despite the sound meter (ossxmix) shows activity. Any suggestions?

You mention ossxmix so I presume you have checked that the volume controls are at maximum. If there are list boxes in ossxmix check that channels that should be output are not set to input.

When you say no sound heard is that from internal speakers?
Have you checked audio jack sockets with headphones?

As stupid as this may sound, it is worth checking all audio sockets with headphones as sometimes audio output has been routed to the mic. (pink) socket.

I've already checked all of those things No sound from internal speakers, audio jack and even mic jack.

Solaris is not my field but from your description everything software wise appears correct. I am surprised by the total lack of mute controls but this may be normal for your hardware configuration (my mixer is littered with them).

The only other suggestion is the function list box associated with the Blue jack. Change this to a setting other than input and retest all possible outputs. Mine is set to linein and my speakers operate correctly when connected to the blue jack.

Any suggestions?

[seawright]

It may indicate a problem but osstest without any options does not use vmix.
To be doubly sure you can remove vmix from the configuration file:
/usr/lib/oss/etc/installed_drivers
before rerunning osstest by running:
soundoff
ossdetect -V
soundon

Osstest did not show any errors but I would have expected it to measure the sample rate and this did not happen.
Whether this is a feature of the driver in Solaris or an indication of a problem I do not know.

Just reboot and it should get fixed.

Hi,
I am using MacBook Pro with Nevada 80 and oss v4.0-1012.
I was able to get sound only from line-in jack. In ossxmix it is controlled by connector blue entry. I wasn't able to get sound from internal speakers and from headphone output.
I was looking for some information on the web and I found, that linux users reported similar problem for ALSA, but current version of ALSA works OK on current MacBook Pro.
If anybody is going to fix this problem I will provide any info needed and I would be also willing to test the fix/binaries if needed.

Thanks.

I've selected "rear" (another choice was "input") and nothing changed
No sound from headphones connected to line-in jack.

PS: sorry, "side" not "rear"

I didn't try it using osstest. Instead I selected rear in ossxmix and after that configured xmms to use oss and to use Audio device "High Definiton Audio rear (OUTPUT)".

edit /kernel/drv/hdaudio.conf
set hdaudio_snoopy=1
run ossdetect

download http://www.4front-tech.com/test/snoopy.gz
gunzip it

now log in on the console (you must not be running in JDS/Gnome)

type snoopy > out.txt and send file to support@opensound.com or post the contents here.

We will be able to look at the HD Audio codec internals and see what the hell is going on.


Really all the HDAudio vendors should be lined up against a wall and lashed 50 times.

Hi Dev,
I already sent output of snoopy to support@opensound.com. Please, let me know whether you got it OK and whether I can do anything more to help.

[sriramnrn]

I've got a Macbookpro, and have installed oss with Moinak Ghosh's help at the Sun Tech Days. Is there anything that you'd like to have him or me investigate ?

I tried the snoopy tool, and it gave me the following:
/dev/oss/hdaudio0/pcm0: Device busy

ossxmix is configured to send Front audio to the internal speaker.

The blue connector too is set to play Front audio.

As well as setting hdaudio_snoopy=1 in /kernel/drv/hdaudio.conf you need to run snoopy as root.
Running it as a normal user should output:

Code: Select all

hdaudio_snoopy mode is not available

you need to run ossdetect to reinstall the drivers with the updated .conf file.
