/dev/dsp* & /dev/audio* devices not present

[Vladimir Terziev]

Hi Hackers,

i have a workstation equipped with "Intel 82801G High Definition Audio
Controller". The workstation is running FreeBSD 7.0 Release i386.

I built a custom kernel and compiled the driver into it, using the
following lines in the kernel configuration file:

device sound
device snd_hda


The driver seems to recognize the controller:

$ dmesg | grep pcm

pcm0: <Intel 82801G High Definition Audio Controller> mem
0xe04c0000-0xe04c3fff irq 21 at device 27.0 on pci0
pcm0: [ITHREAD]
pcm0: <HDA Codec: Realtek ALC260>
pcm0: <HDA Driver Revision: 20071129_0050>


This is also confirmed here:

$ cat /dev/sndstat 
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2007061600/i386)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Intel 82801G High Definition Audio Controller> at memory
0xe04c0000 irq 21 [20071129_0050] [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex
default)

Now the problem ...
The strange thing is all audio related devices are missing in /dev

$ ls -l /dev/audio* /dev/dsp*
ls: /dev/audio*: No such file or directory
ls: /dev/dsp*: No such file or directory

Respectively i have no working sound support :(

Could someone help we with this issue?
Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Vladimir
