Hi all, I tested 3 variants of the 'community' HDAC drivers, on my Thinkpad Z60M. Chipset info (with andrea-rec driver attached, not sure if it's relevant): (scanpci) pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x1b function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2668 Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller CardVendor 0x1014 card 0x05b7 (IBM, Card unknown) STATUS 0x0010 COMMAND 0x0006 CLASS 0x04 0x03 0x00 REVISION 0x03 BIST 0x00 HEADER 0x00 LATENCY 0x00 CACHE 0x08 BASE0 0x00000000b0000004 addr 0x00000000b0000000 MEM 64BIT MAX_LAT 0x00 MIN_GNT 0x00 INT_PIN 0x01 INT_LINE 0x0b BYTE_0 0x03 BYTE_1 0x00 BYTE_2 0x00 BYTE_3 0x00 (pciconf) pcm0@pci0:27:0: class=0x040300 card=0x05b71014 chip=0x26688086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801FB/FR/FW/FRW Intel High DefiNition Audio Controller' class = multimedia Kernel and world stable, updated today: 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #9: Sun Jul 30 14:06:57 EST 2006 Results : I downloaded 3 variants of the drivers today (2006-07-31 01 AM GMT +10) --- Driver package provided by Daniel Eischen (thanks!) : http://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/hdac.tgz Dmesg output : http://meijome.net/files/freebsd/hdac/daniel_e_hdac_dmesg_200607310112.txt Sound extremelly low, couldn't manage to make it easily audible.

No recording device. Lots of info in dmesg. When setting the volume with 'mixer vol 90:90' (or any values), the following line gets pushed to dmesg: Amp 11: mute(0:0) gain(0:0) ------ Driver package provided by Andrea Bittau (thanks!) : http://darkircop.org/hdac-rec.tgz Dmesg output : http://meijome.net/files/freebsd/hdac/andrea-rec_dmesg_200607302200.txt Sound at 75% a bit too low, setting to 90% sounded great (100% was pushing these tiny speakers a bit too much, i thought). Recording device works too (tested with skype ). Mixer detects the 'rec' device, but not as a 'recording source': $ mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 90:90 Mixer rec is currently set to 90:90 Recording source: Resuming from suspend is OK most of the times, i haven't been able to pinpoint any issues, but i have a feeling it *may* be making it more prone to lockups. Similarly,i've been having some silly issues with if_iwi.ko since using hdac.ko - absolutely nothing else more to go by, really, but if anyone experiences anything similar, let us know. This is the driver I've been using since Andre posted it to -multimedia. -------- I think that's all for now :) Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. thanks again to everyone involved!
