As some of you know, I recently installed Solaris in a Toshiba laptop. There
are many things that do not work, but I'll start with sound. The speaker
icon in the taskbar of JDS is crossed diagonally with a red line. I can hear
some beeps some times but the machine is silent otherwise. I do not find
something like the Linux "alsamixer" to see if the channels are muted. In
short, I do not know what to do to get sound. Looking at Windows I see that
my sound card (Windows Audio) is a Realtek AC97 Audio. But if I look in
PCI/PnP, I get: "ATI SB200-AC'97 Audio Driver". I do not know the meaning of
PCI/PnP. I'll appreciate any help you can give me.

Under which version of Solaris is this?

You can download many sound drivers (free for personal use, but with
a continuous 4 month expiry period) at: http://www.opensound.com/

Thank you. I downloaded and installed all the drivers, but to no avail. Or
is it that I have to do something else after the installation?

Instead of buying, I decided to try the drivers for four months. I
downloaded them and installed them and I could glimpse at the end of the
installation a reference to ATI IXP. I was happy, because in Linux the Alsa
module which makes my system sound is snd-atiixp. But unfortunately the
system remains dead. No sound whatsoever.

As the package is a collection of drivers, I wonder whether I have to pick
one somehow, and do something in order to get audio. Do you think this is
the case, and what to do?

Thanks for your feedback.

Teilhard.
