still no solution?
I tried also Parallels 3.0, but no difference...
I got audio in Parallels for Linux Debian and Solaris 10, but not FreeBSD...
FreeBSD says there isn't a /dev/dsp into, but where is the *real* issue?
Any help?
I hope also the Parallels Team could make soon "Parallels Tools" also for FreeBSD and Solaris 10, as we have now (Parallels 3) with Linux
TIA!

Es1371
I believe Parallels emulates an Ensoniq AudioPCI 1371 sound card. Try kldload sound_driver then cat /dev/sndstat to get the driver name. Once you've found the module name, add it to /boot/loader.conf
I'll try it out in a few minutes and post a followup if my hunch is true.

At least you got that... I have no audio in ubuntu 6.10 or 6.06, and no audio in Solaris 10. I wouldn't even know where to begin, and your's is the first post I've found mentioning audio that wasn't for Windows.
Do you mind detailing how you got audio working in Debian & Solaris?
-Appreciated-

Hi,
with Debian I made no particular thing: it did all
For Solaris try to download audioi810 1.9 beta from http://www.tools.de/solaris/audio/beta/, then:
bunzip2 ./audio-1.9beta-i86pc.pkg.bz2
pkgadd ./audio-1.9beta-i86pc.pkg
It works for me.

Oops
Seems that it's "snd_driver" not "sound_driver" sorry about that. There are a few sysctl options you can tweak to fix problems with the sound glitches. Open Sound is now free and open-source, so it'll eventually become the norm, but for now use which one that works best.

ok, thanks sparcdr.
Now I installed open sound. How can I deinstall it and install instead your solution?
Please, tell me more
However, I confirm, that the problems with Open Sound were because the "full duplex" option. Disabling it FreeBSD is more stable.

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371-A> at io 0x2080 irq 19 kld snd_es137x (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default)
fbsd01# mixer
Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75
Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75
Mixer line is currently set to 75:75
Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0
Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75
Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0
Mixer igain is currently set to 0:0
Mixer line1 is currently set to 75:75
Mixer phin is currently set to 0:0
Mixer video is currently set to 75:75
Recording source: mic
You can control the mixer by typing something like mixer pcm 100
It should report pcm0 and device info on the console. I loaded the driver via ssh incase it froze the VM and locked my keyboard interrupts. It worked fine though. VMware Fusion also uses es1371 by the way.
I don't know how to get rid of the one you installed, you should consult their readme files. To make the built-in FreeBSD autoload, add snd_es137x_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf file with vi.
Oh, and opensound is not the same as oss on FreeBSD. For most cards you'd use the built-in driver, which is mostly compatible with the commercial product. You don't need the commercial product unless you have some oddball highend synthesizer card or 7 channel soundblaster, or something like that. As for Solaris, it needs the commercial 3rd party driver, which will eventually be backported to Solaris 10, or maybe included with Solaris 11 as it is open-source. The binary blob version however is still proprietary afaik.

ok, I made these things:
removed OSS driver (as it's said in their manual):
---
/usr/sbin/soundoff
pkg_delete oss-freebsd-v4.0-1003-i386
reboot
---
then I tried:
---
kldload snd_driver
cat /dev/sndstat
---
but I got:
Intel ICH2 (82801BA) snd_ich ...
and if I add to /boot/loader.conf
the line
snd_ich_load="YES"
FreeBSD doesn't give more the "/dev/dsp" error, but it doesn't sound at all, or it sometimes give the error "/dev/dsp busy".
Must I download from somewhere the Ensoniq AudioPCI driver, isn't it? is it not included in standard FreeBSD?
Thanks,
salvo
yes, sparcdr, perhaps it's Ensoniq and it is not Intel (with cat /dev/snd_stat I get: "Intel ICH2 (82801BA) snd_ich .."), but - following your tips - I thinked to load it, but I cannot hear any sound, also if FreeBSD doesn't give errors and perhaps the audio driver is correctly loaded.sparcdr said:
So, Ensoniq or Intel, my FreeBSD 6.2 with snd_driver load only "ICH2", and then ...doesn't sound at all.
Any help, please?
I don't want to use OpenSound (that, however, works, if we don't enable "full duplex")...
Thanks in advance!
