I'm testing the 20080903 HDA patch on RELENG_7 on a Sony PCG-4N1M laptop. # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2007061600/amd64) Installed devices: pcm0: <HDA codec #0 Realtek ALC262 PCM #0> at hdac0 cad 0 kld snd_hda [20080904_0106] [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex default) Firstly, with the old HDA driver, muting the internal speakers when a jack was inserted did not work, now it works correctly. I also get two extra mixer options ("mix" and "monitor"), "monitor" seems to be the internal microphone. The only problem I have so far with the new driver is that I get a short high-pitched scream when the module is loaded. I believe this is feedback from the internal speakers to the internal microphone, as I get a very similar sound if I turn the "monitor" channel up. Is there any way to fix this? Maybe by setting it's volume to zero before enabling it or similar? I also cannot get sound from the internal CD ROM drive, but this didn't work with the old HDA driver either. Is this something that can be made to work somehow? dmesg and pindump at: http://people.freebsd.org/~gavin/dmesg-v-sony-PCG-4N1M http://people.freebsd.org/~gavin/pindump-sony-PCG-4N1M Thanks for all your work on this!
