Hello all

I have an old Dell Latitude CPi D266XT laptop that I've been playing around with for a few months. Its currently running FreeBSD 5.1 Release, I just upgraded it from 5.0 last week. Everything is running good and I even managed to get ACPI to work but it doesn't detect the sound card. The card is a Crystal Sound 4237b and is listed as being supported by pcm in the man page. The kernel has been recompiled with both the pcm and csa drivers.

I've been digging and digging for answers but so far have come up with only dead ends. Most people say that PNP OS needs to be disabled in the BIOS, but my BIOS doesn't have that problem. The FreeBSD hand book suggests to add options PNPBIOS to the kernel config but when I run it through config it comes back telling me that is an invalid option. I assume that section of the handbook is pre version 5. I've tryed various configurations that others have said worked in 4.8 to no avail.

Hmmm... no suggestions as yet, however, looks like you're not the only one with that problem:

For your laptop I think you have to add either

device sbc

or

device pcm
device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 (with your settings)

depending on weather or not it's pnp.
(from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html)

for isa (from |MiNi0n|'s post, http://news.gw.com/freebsd.hardware/3146, "This card is connected to the
ISA bus at, I believe, io=0x530, irq=5, drq=1. Pnpinfo does not show any
plug-n-pray devices but I am not sure whether this is a PNP card or not.")

This guy: http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/151/2002/2/0/7974272/ has your same laptop and needs the extra lines in his kernel config. But he's on old BSD so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

I had this problem too, but mine was a simple fix. I had to recompile my kernel like 20 times to compile without erroring out. By the end of it I was confused and frustrated and had forgotten to do 'make install' before rebooting, so it was pointing to the wrong kernel.

I hope that helps. If you tried that or if I've misunderstood entirely I apologize.

P-chan did this get worked out for you?

BTW welcome p-chan and bk! Nice to see two new faces! :)

I had tryed compiling the kernel with sbc in before with no luck. I just tryed to do it again with:
device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15
device sbc0 at isa? port 0x530 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15
I has also tryed that with device csa0.

When I run config it says that that a device with zero units is most likely misconfigured or something to that extent. I also tryed compiling it with sbc and putting those settings in /boot/device.hints. So far no change.

"From BSD Handbook" ~Multimedia~
16.2.1.3 Crystal Sound Cards "this includes the 4237" Worked for my 4239.

For Crystal cards, you will need to add:

device pcm
device csa

to your kernel configuration file.

su
password
cd /usr/src
echo "device csa" >> sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC

Repeat for "device pcm" and possibly "device sbc" - my card is isa. For laptop I don't know about this.

Reboot then as "root"
cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV snd0

This got my sound going with Crystal Card 4239. In 4.8 and 5.1

Hope this helps.

Regards and Good Luck!

I currently have pcm csa and sbc all compiled into the kernel and have tryed various combinations of them before. There is no file called MAKEDEV on the system, when I was reading through the faq they made it sound like makedev wasn't used in version 5 or later.
