I bought a new (i.e. older) laptop to test out the new Haiku Beta 1 release. I updated the system and yet I have no sound in my Dell Inspiron 1720 with a Sigmatel 9205 sound device.
Is there a Haiku hardware compatibility list anymore? It seems that I cannot locate it.
Has anyone used this audio device before?
What about a USB Creative sound stick–is that viable for this release?
Thank you in advance!!
Try blacklisting hda driver and installing opensound package from HaikuDepot.
There was some recent work on usb_audio driver but it’s still not ready at this time and not included in the image. https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/log/?qt=grep&q=usb_audio
Thanks, I will try that…nice new feature!
I forgot to mention that I’m running the Haiku Beta 1 (64-bit) release.

Hopefully this will help the devs in seeing what can be done.
Blacklisting is not working for me, it is still being loaded insted of the OpenSound driver:
Device name: 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
I created the ‘packages’ text file as follows:
Package haiku {
EntryBlacklist {
/boot/system/add-ons/media/hmulti_audio.media_addon
}
}
So these drivers must be distributed in many other places. Too bad I cannot simply rename the singular ‘targeted’ driver file.
What am I missing or where do I find out details on what exactly to add into the ‘packages’ file?
Thanks in advance!!
You need to blacklist hda driver like this:
Package haiku {
EntryBlacklist {
add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/hda
}
}Hmmm, I think I tried that first and it did not work. I will definitely gtry your version and see what happens.
I will respond with what I discover…
Thank you!
Still a no-go…I copied your complete snippet in the ‘packages’ text file. Rebooted and the sys.log states this:
…
KERN: HDA: Detected controller @ PCI:0:27:0, IRQ:21, type 8086/284b (1028/01f2)
KERN: loaded driver /boot/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/audio/hmulti/hda
…
I guess blacklisting does not work (at least for me)…
Any other alternatives? Like deleting/renaming the ‘hda’ file(s)?
Blacklisting works, and is the only way to filter out these files at least until we move them to separate packages.
Since blacklisting is not working, how can I “force” the Open Sound drivers instead of the HDA driver? Can I move the driver file ‘hda’ elsewhere or will that break Haiku?
The good news is that I can manually ‘blacklist’ the HMulti add-on and HMulti drivers using the {SHIFT} key on bootup, where it finally installs the OSS drivers instead.
I now have sound!!
However, the use of the ‘packages’ text file does not work for blacklisting!! How can we get that working so I can using the {SHIFT} bypass for every boot cycle?
There is no other way to blacklist files than the blacklist file and the blacklist menu. The OS is stored inside a package which you can’t modify.
The blacklist file is working for me and many other people using the opensound driver. So, check carefully the file location, name and contents, there must be something unexpected there that prevents it from working.
Post the complete output of the following command (you supposed to run it in the Terminal):
cat /boot/system/settings/packages
Here is the output you requested:
Welcome to the Haiku shell.
~> cat /boot/system/settings/packages
Package haiku {
EntryBlacklist {
add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/hda
}
}
~>
First of all, thank everyone who participated in this discourse–you are all awesome!!
OK…I played around some more with the ‘packages’ file and many reboots. Here’s what finally works:
Welcome to the Haiku shell.
~> cat /boot/system/settings/packages
Package haiku {
EntryBlacklist {
add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/hda
add-ons/media/hmulti_audio.media_addon
add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/audio/hmulti/hda
}
}~>
Why? I believe the last added statement, “add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/audio/hmulti/hda” was referring to a broken link and it no longer blocked whatever needed to happen for the OpenSound drivers to be installed.
So I now have sound!!! Awesome!!
