Soundproblems

I have a DELL Latitude CPI A 400MHz laptop that I use for QNX I finally have
got network and so working… now I only have problems getting the sound to
work.

When I start the “Media Player” I get the message “Error opening Audio
device”

what to do?

Please post the output of /usr/sbin/pci
You will have to run it as root.
This info should allow us to identify your soundcard’s chipset.

PCI version = 2.10

Class = Mass Storage (IDE)

Vendor ID = 8086h, Intel Corporation

Device ID = 7111h, 82371AB/EB PIIX4 IDE Controller

PCI index = 0h

PCI IO Address = 860h enabled

PCI Int Pin = NC

Interrupt line = 0

Class = Display (VGA)

Vendor ID = 10c8h, Neomagic Corporation

Device ID = 5h, NM2200 MagicMedia 256AV

PCI index = 0h

PCI Mem Address = fb000000h enabled

PCI Mem Address = fdc00000h enabled

PCI Mem Address = fdb00000h enabled

PCI Int Pin = INT A

Interrupt line = 11

Class = Multimedia (Audio)

Vendor ID = 10c8h, Neomagic Corporation

Device ID = 8005h, NM2200 MagicMedia 256AV Audio Device

PCI index = 0h

PCI Mem Address = fac00000h enabled

PCI Mem Address = fda00000h enabled

PCI Int Pin = INT B

Interrupt line = 5

No guarantees, but there is one driver that might
work on this chipset.

Please try manually starting the deva-ctrl-nmg6
driver with the following sequence of commands
(as root):
slay -9 io-audio
/sbin/io-audio -dnmg6 &

You should be able to “ls -l /dev/snd” and see
a bunch of files like pcmC0D0, mixerC0D0, etc…
Also verify that you can play sound files
(ex. *.wav, *.mp3) with phplay and control the
volume with mixer.
Please post your results to this thread.

:frowning: Nope… nothing. /dev/snd does not exist after a “io-audio -dnmg6”
