Internal Laptop Speakers
Laptop speakers fail to produce sound. I have read 13 – 13.6 but am unable to get sound from my laptop speakers. I’m not sure if the headphone jack works since it’s broken.
This is what I have done so far – created an entry in /etc/fstab for the cdrom drive. I am able to mount the drive and access it as long as it is not a music cd. In other words I can insert the openbsd 4.7 cd and access it with no problem. Also, when I issue cdio play the cd starts to spin but no sound. Not looking to be spoon fed the answer but a gently nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. divadgnol67 Last edited by divadgnol67; 7th September 2010 at 07:03 PM. Reason: Solved |

What happens when you boot without a disc in the drive? Putting optical drives into /etc/fstab is not a common practice -- especially given that audio CD's are typically not mounted.
If your goal is to avoid manually having to issue mount(8) commands when a disc is inserted, look at amd(8). Yet back to your original question about playing audio CD's, my recommendation is delete the entry in /etc/fstab, reboot, & simply try cdio(1) at the command-line as described in Section 13.3 of the FAQ. |

ocicat,
I was following this example from the fstab man page Here is a sample /etc/fstab file: Quote:

jggimi,
Thanks for the grep command. Contrary to what people say on distrowatch you guys have been helpful and respectful. I'm not at my home laptop now but I do remember getting some info when I issued the cdio cdplay command. I think it had something to do with "block device" but not certain. I will check when I get home. Thanks again, divadgnol67 |

For data, this would be fine.

Ok, I am now down to one message when I invoke cdio cdplay and it is this "cdio could not configure audio parameters as desired"
I used the previous mentioned grep command to make certain all setting were not a "muted" state. cdio play not cdio cdplay does spin the disk but no sound is being produced from the speakers. I have left my /etc/fstab entry as /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 but will experiement on removing this to see if there is a difference. divadgnol67 |

However, if upon removal problems still exist, there appears to be two choices:

If you're attempting to play an audio CD, ignore the fstab(5) file, it's totally irrelevant in this situation.
OpenBSD's cdio(1) program supports two methods of playing audio CD's.
Now, in a previous topic you posted your dmesg.. your laptop has one of the azalia(4) devices, these are notoriously complex and it's difficult to pick a default configuration that will work for all cards. The author of the driver quite frequently deals with people posting to the lists with problems.. so in the 4.8 release the man page has been updated to help end users configure their cards properly, this process is largely trail and error and it's going to take some fiddling with mixerctl(1) to get things working on your system. If you wish, you can try posting the output of that program here and maybe someone would be willing to help you.. but it's going to require that you be patient, again, these cards are much more sophisticated than most of the audio drivers supported by OpenBSD (..and hence why the FAQ wasn't able to help you). Good luck, Last edited by BSDfan666; 7th September 2010 at 06:59 PM. |

SOLVED - I installed xine and then changed media settings to /dev/cd0c and now both dvd's and cd's play with no problem. It only seems to work as root at the moment but I suspect this is a permissions issue and no longer a hardware issue.
thanks everyone, divadgnol67 |
