Default No Sound on 7.0 + VIA VT8237

Goal is to use S/PDIF on Asus A8V with VIA VT8237 chipset.
FreeBSD 7.0 & KDE4

Driver snd_via8233 supports chipset VIA VT8237 according to release notes.

There is no digital output optical or coax nor is there analog output on any channel.

Any ideas?

I have used juk for mp3s, dvd audio, avi, fxtv, even streaming from pandora.com
all with the same result.

Possibly more unusual is that the optical output doesn't even light. Previously I had ArchLinux on this box and with some effort it got the output to work.

Additionally $ cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp produces no results.

Have you tried?
# cat filename > /dev/dsp

Do you hear anything?

are you loading kernel module or have you compiled kernel for sound support.

again no offense if you have not done it let freebsd decide whats the best driver.
try this

# kldload snd_driver

kldload snd_driver Picks out the module snd_via8233.ko

I have the module load from /boot/loader.conf which looks like

#sound_load="YES"

#snd_hda_load="YES"
snd_via8233_load="YES"
bktr_load="YES"

When I log into the kde environment the mixer icon appears where it should.

Killasmurf - the only sound card I have is onboard AC97 (and enabled in bios). I double checked the analog output is plugged in correctly and the digital output (both optical and coax) are also correct, yet neither produces output.

AC97., hmmm, i have AC97 as well, on abit mainboard.... try using snd_ich driver (ain't got nothing to lose...)


speaking about via8233
man snd_via8233 says
Code:
HARDWARE
     The snd_via8233 driver supports the following audio chipsets:

     o   VIA VT8233
     o   VIA VT8233A
     o   VIA VT8233C
     o   VIA VT8235
     o   VIA VT8237
     o   VIA VT8251


BUGS
     The snd_via8233 driver does not support S/PDIF.  There is partial support
     in the code, so implementing it should be fairly easy if the right hard-
     ware is available.

from your dmesg
Code:
pcm0: <VIA VT8237> port 0xe800-0xe8ff irq 22 at device 17.5 on pci0
pcm0: [ITHREAD]
pcm0: <Avance Logic ALC850 AC97 Codec>
pcm0: <VIA DXS Enabled: DXS 4 / SGD 1 / REC 1>
it should work

Are you using 32 or 64 bit system?
I'm out of options here....
can you get some live CD, like freesbie, and test it

You may want to try using the OSS sound drivers instead since the FreeBSD driver does not support S/PDIF. They are in ports under audio/oss. Be sure to disable the FreeBSD sound driver before trying to use OSS.

Update: With BSD driver via_8233 I can get analog sound with

cat /wavefile > /dev/dsp

However there is still no sound output when using Juk/ Dragonvideo / fxtv
Additionally, in the system settings under audio, there are no output devices listed... KDE4 was compiled before an audio driver was loaded (if that makes a difference)

What am I missing here to get analog playback?

KDE 3? Hmmm... Did you make sure that aRts (the bane of many existences) is loading alright? (KDE4 doesn't have that kind of a problem, phonon defaults to using gstreamer as far as I can tell.)

The problem probably was, that programs you mentioned used one of:
Arts, Esound, opneal, or one of many others....

xmms, mplayer, mpg123 however uses OSS straight, they wite straight to /dev/dsp (or something like that)

So for apps that don't write directly to /dev/dsp, how do you direct them to get the sound out? Especially for those that don't have any configurable options?

You need to start audio system deamon....
dunno, how exactly...
What environment are you planning to use?
Most of them should start audio system by default....
if not, you should figure out which audio systems are being used by your apps, and google, how to start it under freebsd
(can't tell really anything more.... since i don't use any environment)
