No sound on Haiku

[begasus]

Even though the Media Prefs gives me HD Audio I can't play or here any sound ...

[begasus]

In the process of this ticket I could mention that also the radeon driver isn't working (blacklisted here) and wifi doesn't show up also in Network Preferences

You may want to try the OpenSound driver. Especially if you're running Haiku in VMWare.

There's something wonky about that package, causing problems with libogg. Have a look at its .PackageInfo file, it doesn't make any sense at all.

The .PackageInfo file just tells the package system where to put stuff. As for compatibility with specific codecs, you're kind of on your own. I didn't write OpenSound, I just put it in an HPKG file. Good luck :-)

I don't think we're on the same page, did you look at the .PackageInfo file? The package claims to be libogg, packaged by Ingo, providing libogg 1.3.0, etc. The .PackageInfo file doesn't seem to have anything to do with opensound at all.

Ok...now I see what you're saying. I'm not sure what that's about. I don't remember creating that file. However, I have an HPKG of OpenSound on my system and when expanded, it has than same .PackageInfo file and I have sound working on my system. If I get time, I will try to investigate it further.

Not sure if Haikuware lets you remove uploaded files, but if not, since this package actually caused the real libogg to be uninstalled from my system, perhaps you can replace the current Haikuware hpkg with a zero-byte sized file meanwhile.

Ok...I fixed the .PackageInfo file and rebuilt the HPKG. It should work now without uninstalling ogg. You can get it on HaikuWare.com or from my site:

Looks good and works fine here, thanks a lot!

So, is there straight way to fix this, but not through workaround with OSS?

Spectrum bars are just fine showing that music or sound is playing but from speakers there no sound.

Tested on HP Probook 6460b and HP 615 notebooks

It seems that many users have problems with HDA sound on Haiku. So I think that that fixing HDA driver should be on higher priority. Personally I don't know HDA architecture and don't know how to fix this problem, but ic can be easy for developers who are familiar with HDA audio.

Also I tested small OS written in assembly "Kolibri OS" and it have working sound there Haiku don't. Kolibri OS HDA driver don't seems very complex.

Also it will be good to collect all HDA audio related bugs in one master ticket, for example this ticket.

[RJ_Master]

Sorry, if I doing something wrong, but I just trying to help investigating bugs.

HDA *works* just fine on ASUS A8N5X R1.00 motherboard hrev47754 $lspci -nn 00:04.0 Unclassified device [00a2]: NVIDIA Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller [10de:0059] (rev 04)

X512: the HDA driver works on some, but not all machines. This is because HDA is only a part of the audio system, and you also need DMA, an audio codec (there are several different ones), and pin routing to the right audio output. On some machines the pin routing is nonstandard and you do get audio, but not on any easily reachable connector, or on the wrong one.

There is an HDA component on Trac to easily see what the open bugs are. This works better than putting everything in a single ticket, because each report must be handled separately and it would be difficult to know what's solved and what isn't, if everything was in a single ticket. Use this list: https://dev.haiku-os.org/query?status=!closed&component=Drivers%2FAudio%2FHDA

[pulkomandy]

Removing HDA audio tickets from Beta2 milestone, no one has worked on it and opensound is available at least as a stopgap.

If this was actually a delayed start of audio it might be fixed by hrev54464, please retest with a nightly that includes that fix. Make sure to try without open sound if it was installed.

Begasus reports via IRC he has sound.
