hi all..

i sent my t30 to ibm to replace a not working ram slot and i got it back in less then 48 hrs. pretty good. except the /dev/dsp is missing.

i don't see any cards in the dmesg but i know that the audio card is "SoundBlaster compatible". my system is 5.4 and according to the handbook devfs should figure it out - i haven't had to do this before... a have the audio enabled in the kernel... pcm...

any ideas why is the dsp missing? i think they did bios upgrade - is that what screwed it up?

A dmesg would be helpful as would kldstat and kernel config.

The obvious question is whether your kernel includes 'device sound' and 'device snd_ich' or kldstat shows them loaded. You might want to do a 'pciconf -lv' and look for what device is in class 'multimedia' and subclass 'audio'. You may also need drivers for the System Management bus: device smbus device iicbus device iicbb device intpm device ichsmb device smb

Not really sure of exactly which are needed.
