Re: Howto make a AC97 (VIA VT82C686A) working?

re-complie the kernel with
device pcm
and do not add other options (for sound). Add this option just below the last line of the devices section
...
# To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed
#options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
#options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O
device isa
device eisa
device pci
device pcm
.........
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answer...
My kernel is already compiled with the pcm device and the kernel actualy "see" that device. I just found that some of the applications are working and some other dont... for example: enjoyempeg does work, but realplayer don't. So I told myself, well realplayer is an emulation so let's try something else. Gaim work (MSN + AIM client) but gnome doesn't and this one really surprise me. I really dont understand this.
BTW no error are displayer (except for realplayer but it's in linux emulation so the test might not be valid)

It appears that the application you are trying to run is attempting to access the same device which is already in use byanother application. I have had similar problems when using XMMS with OSS Driver. The workaround is to use the ESD (eSound plugin) for XMMS (at least on my system). Strangely enough, this problem occurs when one song finishes and the playlist advances to the next song, again this problem does not occur unless i try to start another application that uses sound output. I've had trouble with some Linux systems too while playing MPlayer (video player), fortunately in each case i could specify the output sound driver.
I don't use RealPlayer so i can't suggest the exact remedy, but try setting the audio output plugin to esd. I have found it better (gives less problems when running other applications using sound) to turn of the audio servers when using gnome/kde

Once i had such problem and one way to make it work is to reboot your PC and in BIOS disable the sound on board, then let the system boot and restart again and in BIOS enable the sound on board.
Seems to be easy but it worked for me

I have a FIV an17 mobo. I just built the computer and everything works great except that the sound won't work. My computer detects the onboard sound as PCI adio device but I can't load a driver for it. I have tried to load the driver from the CD that came with the mobo but I always get "critical error, this prpgram will terminate" when I am loading it. How can I get this to work?

I've had the same problem for a long time and finally fixed it today. Try downloading the new audio ACI PCI driver from Microsoft - VIA PCI Audio Controller(MICRO-STAR MS-6198) - V. 5.12.01.3109

Well, the first thing to do is NOT to recompile the kernel.
Refer to ch. 14:
. Do kldload snd (this will load every possible snd* driver).
. Use MAKEDEV to build the nodes.
. If it isn't working, quit.
. Else grep to see what drivers are actually being used (ignore snd_pcm if it's not the only one).
. Go to /boot/loader.conf and put snd_X_load there.
. Voila.
