Re: VT82C686/A/B AC'97 Audio Codec

[William Dean DeVries]

I would try to load the pcm module using kldload first. "kldload  
snd_pcm" will probably work.  If it says the file exist, it's alread in  
the kernel.  In 4.8, you need to make the device file in /dev still.   
You should read the section in the handbook on freebsd.org "Setting Up  
the Sound Card."  I rebuilt my kernel to get mine to work, something  
else was trying or was using the irq my sound card need.  It was  
probably fixable by editing device.hints in /boot, but the default  
kernel has a lot of stuff in it you probably don't need.

What do you mean by adding 'device pcm' to kernel? I have a kernel
that
comes with 4.8-STABLE, i did not recompile it.
grep pcm /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT shows two lines:
device          pcm0 at isa? irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0
device          pcm
I try to do 'kldload snd_pcm'.  Silence (the kernel is supposed to
write
something like PCM... on the first console, am I right?)
mpg123 fails, says can't open /dev/dsp

Also, I try to 'kldload snd_via82c686', no results..
