OpenSolaris

In spite of having an appropriately supported audio chipset, I could not attach the audiohd driver on my Toshiba Portege R600.

Here are the original driver_alias entries (as installed from OpenSolaris 2008.11 + the dev snv_105 image update):

audiohd "pci8086,2668"
audiohd "pci10de,371"
audiohd "pciclass,0403"

And here is the prtconf -v (admittedly, after my workaround):

            Device Minor Nodes:
                dev=(252,0)
                    dev_path=/pci@0,0/pci1179,1@1b:sound,audio
                        spectype=chr type=minor
                        dev_link=/dev/sound/0
                dev=(252,1)
                    dev_path=/pci@0,0/pci1179,1@1b:sound,audioctl
                        spectype=chr type=minor
                        dev_link=/dev/sound/0ctl

Now technically "pciclass,0403" should've caught this device, but for some reason, I needed to add "pci8086,293e" to it.  After that entry and devfsadm, audio worked.

Add this:

    audiohd "pci8086,293e"

to /etc/driver_aliases and invoke "devfsadm".

Hi, this is a known problem. Another workaround is as follows:

In order to ensure the sounds works on the machine enter the BIOS
and make sure that the setting of 'Device Config' is 'All Devices'
and not 'Setup by OS'
