Open Sound System

by **ememem** » Sat May 08, 2010 10:51 am

I have an EMU 1616m PCI and I can not seem to find enough information to make it work with PC-BSD. I do have it working on Fedora, however, that has a timing problem which I believe to be related to alsa (as I find out more about that I will share that information here). The main goal is still to get this card and it's outboard interface to function with a default install of PC-BSD which includes KDE/Phonon/Xine.

As you can see below there are some anomalies such as 1: oss is enabled yet does not detect any card even though KDE does, 2: KDE says the card is named 0x40041102 and is a sound blaster Audigy 2 (ca0108) yet the PC-BSD soundcards.xml doesn't even list it as an option and 3: the oss devices.list does not reference anything like phonon, KDE or the system seem to reference.

/etc/rc.conf :

Code: Select all: # Enable sound-support snd_detect_enable="YES" mixer_enable="YES" oss_enable="YES"

/boot/loader.conf :

Code: Select all: # Load sound-support sound_load="YES" snd_emu10kx_load="YES"

KDE Info Center PCI section states that the card is:

Code: Select all: emu10kx0@pci0:2:3:0 class=0x040100 card=0x40041102 chip=0x00081102 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Creative Technology LTD.' device = 'sound blaster Audigy 2 (ca0108)' class = multimedia subclass = audio

and yet... I can not find the "card=0x40041102 in this output from /PCBSD/soundDetect/soundcards.xml :

I see a couple of pci1102 references in there but I suspect that none of them are correct for my card. I have been to http://connect.creativelabs.com/opensou ... pport.aspx and seemingly a million other places and so far... nada for getting this to function properly on PC-BSD. I'm to the point that I need help. Any offered would be appreciated

I'll go ahead and reserve the second post here for adding links and new info.

First, when talking about OSS in FreeBSD we need to separate between the native sound system (which uses OSS API but isn't from 4front, has different internal workings etc.) and 4front's OSS4. As we can see from the data above, you set up both drivers to be loaded. What happens is that the FreeBSD driver loads first and hogs up the soundcard, and since the kernel obviously can't let two separate drivers run a single device OSS4 can't see it (therefor ossinfo shows nothing). If you want to try OSS4 you'll have to first disable the FreeBSD drivers ("sound_load"="NO" etc.).

Second, If I read the output correctly, the soundcard's pci id is 1102:0008 (It seems 1102:4004 is the subdevice id, not the card's pci id) which is recognized by oss, so you should be able to try it once the native driver is disabled. I suggest you run "osstest" after loading oss properly and check if it emits sound.

I switched sound_load="YES"" to sound_load="NO"... rebooted... did osstest :

Searched the entire file system for "oss4" and found nothing. I am not sure I understand how you mean that the oss that FreeBSD uses is not from 4front. How is it different? Where is it from then? Am I barking up the wrong tree even being here?

by **cesium** » Sun May 09, 2010 8:27 am

You have both the oss from FreeBSD kernel (/boot/kernel/snd* modules), and oss4 from 4front (at /usr/local/lib/oss directory). Which one you use is your own decision - did you test sound when the native drivers were loaded? Did playback work? I don't know all that much about these drivers. As for OSS4, installation must have goofed somehow. Run "sudo ossdetect -v" and restart OSS4 using "sudo soundoff" and "sudo soundon" commands (reboot not necessary). You should be able to see that card then and run "osstest".

Yes, when native drivers were loaded the hda/board outs worked fine.

You can stop these apps and run soundon/soundoff again or you can reboot. Same result. Then run osstest.

Hmm...

Where is oss_sblive? hmm.. Edit /usr/local/lib/oss/etc/installed_drivers and make sure the only line is "oss_sblive" (if not there, add it). Restart OSS (killing apps if necessary). Then run "osstest" (I don't care about its output - what's important is whether it actually plays some sound. Do you hear anything?). Then paste output of 'ossinfo -v3' and 'ossmix' here.

by **ememem** » Sun May 09, 2010 10:17 am

Set oss_sblive as the only thing in /ur/local/lib/oss/etc/installed_drivers

Rebooted... no sound from anything. Tried VLC player, Kmplayer, both with default and oss as output options, nothing.

root@pcbsd-4269# ossinfo -v3

root@pcbsd-4269# ossmix

Code: Select all: Mixer device 0 has no functionality

Then killed kdeinit4 apps, did soundoff / soundon, ran the osstest (still no sound), ossinfo -v3 and ossmix with same results as above.

So oss_sblive isn't loaded for some reason... Please paste the result of "cat /dev/sndstat" here. Maybe the native driver is still loaded?

The native driver is still loaded... We need to get rid of it. Hmm.. I think (not sure) you need to set "snd_detect_enable" and "sound_load" and "snd_emu10kx_load" to "NO" and reboot.

by **ememem** » Sun May 09, 2010 10:50 am

Ok, as you advised, then rebooted... still no sound, however, now...

The mixer also came up with the "Audigy 2 Value (unknown)" and nothing is muted.

by **cesium** » Sun May 09, 2010 10:55 am

OK, so now it's loaded. First, please paste the output of 'ossmix' here. Second, try adding the line 'audigy_digital_din=0' in /usr/lib/oss/conf/oss_sblive.conf and restart OSS with soundoff/soundon and test again. (If the test fails, please remove that line)
