no audio Intel HDA
Posted: May 20, 2008 9:32 PM

I installed OpenSolaris 2008-05.
SunOS 5.11 snv_86 i86pc i386 i86pc

The Device Driver Utility says "Driver misconfigured".
so I installed the OSS drivers;
#reboot -- -r
In "Device Driver Utility" it now shows it as ok, "Driver: hdaudio is Attached"
"Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) HDAC"

-but when I run osstest I get:
Sound subsystem and version: OSS 4.0 (b1015/200803241124) (0x00040003)
Platform: SunOS/i86pc 5.11 snv_86

- - Scanning sound adapter #-1 ***

/dev/oss/hdaudio0/pcm0 (audio engine 0): HD Audio pcm1
Note! Device is in use (by PID 0/SADA) but will try anyway

Performing audio playback test... /dev/oss/hdaudio0/pcm0: Device busy

The device is busy. There is some other application
using it.
Can't open the device
/dev/oss/hdaudio0/pcmin0 (audio engine 1): High Definition Audio rec

Skipping input only device

- - Some errors were detected during the tests ***

question:
Was there a opensolaris pkg that was trying to access the sound device previously that needed to be uninstalled first ?

BTW, This is a laptop Gateway, Model:MT6840

thanks ahead for any info.

Do you have ESD (esound daemon) enabled in Gnome by any chance? There is a possibility that ESD is locking the sound devices. It can be disabled in the Gnome sound preferences.

I've been trying for the past day to solve the exact same problem. My osstest output is almost identical to yours.

I've managed to get to a stage where the osstest passes, but I still do not hear any should (in this stage, the speaker icon has an orange bar through it).

I did have ESD enabled (in my many attempts to try and get sound), but disabling it does not solve the problem (even after a reboot).

Note, the Volume Control is listed as:

Unknown Volume Control 1 (Sun Audio Mixer)

for whatever that is worth.

I'm having the same issue, I think... (http://forums.opensolaris.com/thread.jspa?threadID=387&tstart=0) I was able to get a high pitched squeal, and get rid of said squeal, but for some reason it still isn't producing any sounds (other than the reverb if I unmute the mic).
