Hi, 
 
 I am unable to get the sound going on my laptop and I badly need your HELP! 
 
 1) Recompiled the Kernel adding «dev pcm» (Via AC'97). 
 
 2) Now, these /dev(s) are shown: 
 audio0.0, audio0.1, dsp0.0, dsp.0.1,dspW0.0, dspW0.1, stderr, stdin, stdout 
etc...
 
 3) I have tried to output sound to all of them (KDE*) WITHOUT success (I do 
not hear a thing). 
 
 4) This is what I have found out: 
 4.a 
 # grep pcm /var/run/dmesg.boot 
 pcm0: <VIA VT82C686A> port 0x1830-0x1833,0x1834-0x1837,0x1000-0x10ff irq 9 at 
device 7.5 on pci0 
 pcm0: ac97 codec invalid or not present (id == ffffffff) 
 robur# 
 
 4.b 
 # pciconf -lv 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:7:5: class=0x040100 card=0xb1940e11 chip=0x30581106 rev=0x20 
hdr=0x00 
 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' 
 device = 'VT82C686/A/B AC'97 Audio Codec' 
 class = multimedia 
 subclass = audio 
 
 4.c
 # cat /dev/sndstat 
 FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) 
 Installed devices: 
 pcm0: <VIA VT82C686A> at io 0x1000 irq 9 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default)
 
 5) If I try to load the codec: 
 # kldload snd_via82c686.ko 
 kldload: can't load snd_via82c686.ko: File exists 
 
 I am affraid I am lost. Can anyone give me an insight please? 
 
 Thank You, 
 HDV
 
 *Before adding «device pcm» to the Kernel KDE always showed a message saying 
there was no sound device or something similar, this error message does not 
appear now but either I am unable to run the Mixer (it hangs for a while and 
does not start) either it starts but shows no volume control.
