-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If this should have been sent to -questions, tell me. I have been concentrating for the last few months on USB issues, but I sudenly have a real need to get audio working on this box. I know I had it working about 6 months ago, but it dies under mysterious circumstances, and I didn't have the time then to concentrate on it. I do clearly recall that I had a probelm whenever I tried to run oss sound, because it would hang the machine on booting to the point to where it would need a hard reset. Just now, I tried taking OSS_ENABLE out of the rc.conf, and then sticking it back in immediately after reboot, and trying the "oss start" after I re-enabled it in rc.conf. I found first that it would hang, and the reason why is because it was waiting, because my card requries the hdaudio.ko module, but when it's loaded, kldload always complains falsely that it's already loaded. This although both kldstat and "kldstat -v | grep hdaudio" claims it's not loaded. OK, my machine is a Asus Striker Extreme mobo e/w a MCP55 Nvidia chipset, including a Analog Devices ADI1985B HDaudio chip. So, question is, which is the better implementation at this point in time, the oss or the FreeBSD snd_hda module? I would like to interface via optical that my mobo privides, but I would be ok with the spdif also, so tell me which one gives me the best chance of working easiest? I've read the handbook already on this, but I know things drift back and forth a bit. I am off to reboot about a dozen more times trying to see if I can derive any info about snd_hda. I couldn't get it working any yesterday, but maybe more testing will help out. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIXoXyz62J6PPcoOkRAlRFAJ9ySkbLTdz1bxaaj1C6c9kNzTTt+gCeIdlc NZoLj0SU33iLVz+DSaBa8oc= =GHm4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
