I'm running 5.3-Release amd64 on an Asus AV8 motherboard which includes
Realtek ALC850 audio chipset. I'm unable to get the system to recognize
the chipset. From the archives/man pages/manual I've :
# kldload snd_driver
kldload: can't load snd_driver: No such file or directory
Modified /boot/loader.conf to use :
sound_load="YES"
snd_driver_load="YES"
Recompiled the kernel with :
device sound
The last one resulted in /dev/sndstat showing up, but the contents show
no devices :
# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
However I don't see any snd_* modules in /boot/kernel/*ko
I also noted that sys/dev/sound/pcm/ac97.c contains the following :
static const struct ac97_vendorid ac97vendorid[] = {
{ 0x414c4300, "Realtek" },
static struct ac97_codecid ac97codecid[] = {
{ 0x414c4790, 0x0f, 0, "ALC850", 0 },
At this point I'm at a loss as to where to go from here, or which kernel
module would support this chipset.
Other than that this system is a screamer. This is my first experience
with 5.3, AMD, and with the 64 bit port, so far I'm really impressed. I
saw reports that the Marvell Gig Ethernet wasn't working for some folks,
but it worked fine for me. I chose this motherboard as it was the only one
of about three that supported socket 939 and had the Via K8T800 chipset, I
was concerned about the reports of problems with the nVidia nForce
chipset. I would have liked to have had PCI-X, but that's only available
today with nVidia. The Promise SATA raid controller (one of two different
brand controllers onboard) worked just fine.
