Audio in solaris 10

I have via onboard sound (KM400/KN400) abit mobo and would like to know what the procedure is to add sound. I come from a freebsd background so recompiling a kernel isn't a problem... besides the error messagebox in gnome is starting to get on my nerves. Any help is cool. Thanks

Hi,
I've noticed while trying out the Solaris 10 beta 72
that the audio playback quality took a major hit
since Solaris 9. I was hoping that this would go
away in the Solaris 10 release, but it's not the
case.
If I try to play an .mp3 file with mpg123 or even
audioplay an .au file, there are regular clicks in
the playback, audible about twice per second.
Booting into Solaris 9, the audio playback is
s perfect.
My intuition tells me that the integration of DTrace
into the kernel is the culprit, but of course, I have
no proof. Can anyone think of a way to test this
theory?You can be assured that DTrace is not the culprit. When DTrace is not running ("pgrep dtrace" to be sure), there is no effect on system performance.
Maybe DTrace can be
used to figure out what's going on?DTrace could certainly be used, but some basic facts would be helpful. As Juergen asked, which audio driver is this and on what machine? And how idle is the machine when audio playback is running? Is the machine power managed?

  • Audio problem solaris 10

    Solaris 10 on a x86 with c-media on board sound device with OSS drivers, only xmms player play sound files.
    java player refuse playing any sound file with a "can not open audio device" error. Gnome system sounds do not play. Also audio control tool only shows record settings without playback settings. After "soundon" command, system can play sound files through terminal with OSS play commands and with xmms player only. No other media player installed with solaris 10 can use the drivers.
    (OSS readme mentions to add the "soundon" command on /etc/rc to load the drivers before gnome starts for system sounds to work, but without any details)
    Any suggestions..
    thanks..

  • "No Disk Found" error during installation of Solaris 10[11/06] on HP 6710b

    Hallo Guys,
    I am trying to install Solaris 10 on my HP 6710b lap top but it fails with "No Disk Found" error.
    I used "Solaris 10 support tool" to check my system and it reports that my system is supported.
    You can find the report bellow. I am sure that my disk is OK and I am also using "CD-ROM" option in BIOS for installing solaris from my Solaris DVD.
    I have also updated the drivers using "CPQary3-1.71-solaris10-i386".
    Please help me.
    Thanks,

  • Driver for Realtek High Definition audio

    Hello
    I installed Solaris 10 6/06 on my laptop. Everything works properly except one thing : the sound.
    My soundcard is a Realtek High Definition Audio, maybe Solaris 6/06 doesn't include a driver for it
    I also runned the Sun device detection tool targeted on 8/07 and driver for the soundcard was present (Audiohd)
    I'm trynig to download a driver from www.opensound.com
    But is there a driver available on Sun's website for this sound card?

    download OSS drivers I use this on Asus P5RD2-VW (Ati chipset)

  • Unable to play audio video files in solaris express

    I am unable to play mp3 and avi files in my newly installed oracle solaris express. I have installed 'gnome-audio', 'gnome-media', 'gstreamer', 'gstramer/plugin/gnonlin' packages. I have even installed 'IPSFWmpeg' MPEG-1 liabrary from sunfreeware repository. All these softwares are shown as installed packages in my package manager. But still on playing any video in totem movie player or audio file in rhythmbox player, a dialog box with an error message is displayed "The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder plugin which is not installed".
    What should i do to play avi files in Totem movie player and mp3 files in Rhythmbox music player? Please don't suggest other media players because i want to use only above said totem and rhythmbox and i want to know what's wrong with my software installations?

    You can get a free MP3 codec from Fluendo (http://www.fluendo.com/shop/product/fluendo-mp3-decoder/). There are some instructions on setting it up here: http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/playing_your_mp3s_with_songbird.

    In Brief:
    Solaris 10 and later supports most Intel Spec AC'97 audio, VIA 823x Audio, and some legacy Sound Blaster stuff. That covers about half of all the audio on most boards these days. There are still a few boards with AC'97 audio which the Solaris included install media won't recognize, and there is the new class of High Definition or HD Audio chips. For folks with an unknown AC'97 type of audio controller/codec combination (read your spec sheet or prtconf -pv and find the PCI vendor and device ID and web search that device to find out what it supports), most likely, you have a good chance if you download Jurgen Keil's audio drivers and install them. Jurgen supplies his own versions of VIA and AC97 Intel audio drivers. These have different module names and will not clobber the existing drivers, and his installation package does a good job of pruning and transferring PCI vendor and device IDs to his driver control where both the Sun drivers collide with his drivers. Jurgen's drivers are especially useful with some AC97 codecs that have a non-standard sample rate conversion hardware. Where the Sun audio810 driver fails, or takes a huge performance hit going with a software sample rate converter (am_src module), Jurgen's driver allows one to compute the proper sample rate and set it as a configurable in the /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/audioi810.conf which usually gets the driver to play audio at the proper speed. The information on how to do this is actually in the .conf file itself and has come in handy on a Compaq motherboard with Intel 815 chipset and AC97 audio. Jurgen's VIA drivers eat a bit more memory for buffer space, but lower the interrupt rate dramatically, eliminating almost any hiccups on some very slow first-gen EPIA 500 fanless C3 mini-ITX systems and allow those to play flawless audio.
    good luck

  • Solaris 10 x86 5/08 audio driver for SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio

    Hello out there, I recently installed Solaris 10 x86 5/08 on my IBM ThinkPad T60 (2007-63U) and I'm really impressed how well it is working.
    The only thing I've found not working so far is the audio.
    I've installed the Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0 from:
    http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Hardware%20Drivers&tab=3&subcat=Audio%20Devices
    ...but it still is not recognizing the audio device.
    Everything else is working great (thank you Sun and the OpenSolaris Community!!!!!!!), so getting the audio working would be even better.
    Any pointers anyone has on what to look for on the system (e.g. in /var/adm/messages) or how to configure the audio to support the SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio would be greatly appreciated.

    ...well, I've tried building oss-v4.0-build1016-src-cddl but I haven't been able to get it to work.
    In preparation for the build, I did install Sun Studio 12 (from http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/index.jsp ), patched it, and installed gawk-3.1.6 ( from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexintel10.html ) and ran configure/make install as instructed which successfully completed.
    The following is what I get when executing ossdetect:
    ================================================================================
    rem_drv osscore
    rem_drv hdaudio
    rem_drv ossusb

    ================================================================================
    To note, the Solaris 10 x86 5/08 installation I am running on is the full distribution +OEM.
    I also cannot find the "soundon" or "soundoff" scripts referenced in the OSS build instructions.
    Any pointers would be appreciated.

    CD-ROM is greyed out/unavailable as a sound source.
    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious; can anyone help? How can I select
    the CD-ROM as a sound source?

  • Porting Solaris 7 audio driver to Solaris 8.

    I am trying to load solaris 7 audio driver on solaris 8. It is not working.
    Also I have recompiled drivers codes on solaris 8 still not working. Something must have changed in the audio interface from solaris 8 to solaris 7. Can anyone help me to find these changes. Thanks

    This could be a big headache....but if there is a need to upgrade your OS from 7 to 8
    then you should be ready for a good backup plan....meaning, if something goes wrong at any
    point in the process, you could easily revert back to your old system environment.
    If I were the one to do this, I will do the following.
    1) I will make use of mirroring. It will be good if you could do it for the entire filesystem
    of your OS and your DB.
    2) Once I have a mirror, I will simply detach the other mirror and do my upgrade.
    Anything goes wrong, I will simply make use of the other mirror to have my old system back.
    When you upgrade your OS from 7 to 8, I had seen lots of problem where it could not complete the
    process. And the reason is the size of the Filesystem for Solaris 8 specially the root requires
    a big size as to any previous version. i usually just install from scratch. But the problem is if
    your filesystem for the OS and Applications like your DB are crossing each other then you may have
    to rebuilt your Applications too. Unless you had partition them such that they are totally separated.
    When you had succesfully installed your Solaris 8, then your next headache is to make sure
    all your applicatiions including your DB will be running fine with the new OS. Usually they
    would not as they may need to be patched. So that means you have to check the Oracle websites
    as for what are the patches needed to make your Oracle runs properlly in the new OS.
    Most important is your backup plan, which is your mirrored-disk of your running environment.
    Also you have to make a Plan of everything. Doing this will really take a lot of time.
    Good luck. I have done this before.....I'm pretty sure you could do it.
    just remember , your back-up plan should always be available anytime.

  • Solaris 10 No Audio Emu10k1 SBLIVE

    No Audio after installing Solaris 10 It was running on Linux and Windows for the same hardware.
    Where can I find the Kernel driver list for Solaris?
    Will Alsa run on Solaris? Where can I find the binaries or source for Solaris Alsa?

    I realize this is ancient, but seeing as its the first thing that came up on Google I have to at least clear this up.
    Solaris is derived from UNIX, so it uses the Open Sound System. This means that the OSS has to support the emu10k1 chip-set. Not only that, but at least with my card, special firmware has to be loaded too.
    Windows has a special driver API specific to only Windows. Those drivers will not work on any system other than Windows and ReactOS.
    Linux has the ALSA, which I'm assuming you know stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture. Please note the Linux part of that. I have never looked at the ALSA code so I cant say for certain if it is truly Linux only. I would assume not. If the ALSA were to support any other kernel, my guess would be that a BSD could first. You could try compiling the source's, but there's debate over which compiler to do this with.
    I have heard various things about porting the ALSA over to non Linux systems. I feel like this could be far more work, and will definitely add far more complexity than it's worth. Rather than deal with porting a sound system, go and support the system we currently have. The recent development in the OSS has fixed the problems that lead to the ALSA's creation in first place.

  • Audio failure on Solaris

    Is there a known issue with audio on a Solaris SGD server? I've configured two similar setups, and audio works on the 32-bit Pentium system and not on the Sun X4200 system. In both cases, the application server is the SGD server. I've run through the debugging suggestions and attempted to find differences in the two SGD installations. Of course, one uses a 32-bit kernel and the other is 64-bit.
    The tests I'm running are simple "cat > $AUDIODEV" and tests with realplay. The environment vars in both cases point to SGD entries, and modinfo shows the sgd entry, etc. It is as if the audio device is /dev/null. Multiple clients were tested.
    Versions: Solaris 10/08 on the system that doesn't work, 5/08 on the system
    that works. SGD 4.5. Both systems are Ray servers, and both were rebooted since installation of SGD and the enhancement module.

    Do you have Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.

  • Using solaris 11 x86 I do not get usb audio in firefox or additions where can I redirect the internal audio to usb audio? Audio works through solaris

    I upgraded to Solaris 11 x86 and Firefox 3.6.10. I have sound through Solaris but not through Firefox or any of the add-ons.
    I am using USB speakers which work with Solaris Rythmbox. How can I redirect Firefox audio to my USB speakers?

    It works fine, thank you. There is one glitch when I turn off my system and on the next day the audio is missing again. Applying the dsp to dsp 0 reboot and then back to dsp1 reboot I get the audio back.
    Is there any way to restart the process?

  • Solaris x86 install ok, audio not working

    I have installed V10 on an MSI AMD x86 (32bit) board, coexisting with my Windows,Linux and OS/2 partitions. All works ok, except audio.
    This is an NVIDIA based board, and uses the NForce drivers. I saw one entry in the HCL about the Audio810 driver, but that didn't help.
    I need audio to work to try out the Java Desktop Accessibility features.
    ps, it works in Linux, Fedora Core 3.
    I also installed a Creative PCI Soundcard, so could use this instead. The boot time configurator sees the hardware in the PCI slot, but never does anything with it.
    help help..
    thanks
    Sam

    I ran into this as well. As soon as it detects an audio error, it shuts down the "audio server". Once you get valid drivers (or a valid card, like the Sound Blaster), you have to activate the audio server function in JDS.
    I can't remember exactly where is it located off the top of my head, but I had to do that last week when I ended up installing drivers for the Intel 82810BA audio chipset. Once I activated the audio server (or sound server or something like that), I was able to get full audio with the exception of the CD audio. I have no idea what that's about.
    I remember that I found the audio server check box somewhere in one of the GUI configuration tools. Search around. You should be able to find it after a while.
