Default USB Sound?

Hello all, I'm a newbie to Unix and I managed to install OpenBSD and some software. During the whole process, I use OpenBSD handbook, but the only thing I can't figure out is the USB sound. I can't hear anything. Does anyone know how to load the sound during boot?

Be sure to study Section 13.1 of the FAQ:

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq13.html#confaudio

If you still experience problems, having read this section will help you articulate specific questions.

Yes, I tried section 13.1 before I post here, it didn't work in my case. I'll try it one more time.

  • Provide the output of dmesg(8).
  • Provide the output of the following command:
    Code:
    $ audioctl | grep mute

I think I may have found the problem. I typed audioctl and it gives me motherboard sound (HD-Audio), but I only use USB speakers (uaudio0). Would this be it? If so, could you show me how to change it?

Okay, so your audio device is recognized by the kernel. This is essential.

Okay, not so definitive in this case. Please provide the entire output of the following:
Code:
$ audioctl

From your dmesg(8) output:
Code:
azalia0 at pci0 dev 6 function 1 "NVIDIA MCP55 HD Audio" rev 0xa2: irq 11
azalia0: codec[s]: Analog Devices/0x198b
audio0 at azalia0
Is there audio functionality on your motherboard?

This is a little off topic, but when pcibios chokes up a message like "Warning, unable to fix up PCI interrupt routing" it's a good idea to disable it and use acpi for acpiprt(4) support.

Now, on to your question, you'll need to create a few device nodes.

Here's how:
Code:
$ cd /dev
$ sudo MAKEDEV audio1
$ sudo rm {audio,audioctl,mixer,sound}
$ sudo ln -s audio1 audio
$ sudo ln -s audioctl1 audioctl
$ sudo ln -s sound1 sound
$ sudo ln -s mixer1 mixer
Afterwards, Post the output of audioctl -a and mixerctl -a here.

Hope this helps you my friend.

To ocicat: Yes, I did mention that I have HD Audio on my motherboard in my of my posts above, but I don't use it because my speakers use USB 2.0 only. How can I change it to USB audio (uaudio0)?

To BSDfan666: I'm using root account so I guess I don't have to use "sudo". I stopped at step 2 because there was an error:

Quote:
# cd /dev
# MAKEDEV audio1
ksh: MAKEDEV: not found
Here is the output of "ls -la /dev | grep audio":

Quote:
# cd /dev
# ls -la /dev | grep audio
lrwx------ 1 root wheel 6 May 6 03:56 audio -> audio0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 42, 128 May 6 19:20 audio0
lrwx------ 1 root wheel 9 May 6 03:56 audioctl -> audioctl0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 42, 192 May 6 03:56 audioctl0

Wha? Is your /dev directory not populated or something? There should be a MAKEDEV script, try appending ./ and see if that helps.

You will need to determine whether this can be disabled in your BIOS settings.

To BSDfan666:

I just installed OpenBSD 4.3 several days ago.

I said try "appending" that..

Meaning, "./MAKEDEV audio1"

If unclear, BSDfan666 is asking you do perform the following:
Code:
$ cd /dev
$ sudo ./MAKEDEV audio1
...after removing the original links. Most likely during installation you didn't have your USB device connected, so the device nodes created were based on what was found on the motherboard. Since you want to use an auxiliary device instead, you are having to change what audio device is referenced by the kernel.

I added "./" before "MAKEDEV" and I succeeded. I got the sound back. Thank you very much, you guys!
