Default Speakers not working in Dell Vostro 1400

Hi,
The speakers of Dell Vostro 1400 do not work out of the box for any *nix distributions as well as FreeBSD. The headphones jacks are completely functional though. The linux people fixed it in the kernel 2.6.25. I was wondering if there is any way to make them work in FreeBSD 7.0 . Below are a few links describing the problem in other distribution:-

Thanking you,

Did you try the snd_hda(4) driver? You can load it with:
# kldload snd_hda

See this thread for more information on setting up sound on FreeBSD.

I am using the snd_hda driver. The headphone jacks work but not the speakers.

The snd_hda driver is still hardly mature in FreeBSD. I had to recompile the driver with some extra fixes I got off the mailing lists in order for it to attach and work with my laptop.

I think I might have the same card as you. For a quick fix try adding
hint.pcm.0.config="noeapdinv" to /boot/device.hints

If that doesn't do anything try adding hint.pcm.0.config="eapdinv" instead.

EDIT: I think one of those should work for you but lastly give noapdinv, noivref or noovref a shot if the other two hints don't work. Just make sure to reboot after each attempt to let the driver try and attach itself with each hint ^_^
