[ug-bosug] Audio Driver patch 1.9 still did not solve an audio problem.

Mon May 28 14:51:34 PDT 2007

Hello

On a desktop with Asus motherboard and nvidia graphics I installed the
audio patch 1.9 beta, the following is the pkginfo output

# pkginfo | grep TOOL

system      TOOLSva8233                      Audio Driver for VIA
VT8233 AC97 audio controller

This was a general patch installation.

ISV support asked me to do something specific,  give the command
# update_drv -a -i ' "pci8086,266e" ' audio810
# touch /reconfigure
# init 6
          (enable sound "example for gnome")
          "choose" launch --> Preferences --> Desktop Preferences --> Sound
          "mark" Enable sound server startup
          "unmark" Mute; in your launch panel audio icon by right
mouse click on audio symbol
# init 6
(Verify that audio is enabled)

I did all that.

init 6 restarted the system. Is that what init 6 command is supposed to do ?

The Audio did not work.  Right clicking on the audio icon on the task
bar showed "no audio device" and when i tried to open volume control
it said no mixer elements and/or devices found.

AUDIO STILL DID NOT WORK. What do I do ?

Sivasubramanian.
(The following is the output of the entire sequence followed)
:
# update_drv  - a  - i   ' "pci8086,266e" '  audio810
Usage:  update_drv [ -f | -v ] <driver_module>
        update_drv [ -b basedir ] [ -f | -v ] -a
                [-m 'permission'] [-i 'identify_name']
                [-P privilege] [-p 'policy']  <driver_module>
        update_drv [ -b basedir ] [ -f | -v ] -d
                [-m 'permission'] [-i 'identify_name']
                [-P privilege] [-p 'policy']  <driver_module>
