ESS Maestro3 no sound

[Muzaffar Ariff]

Ooohhh thats a whole lot of questions, I'll try my best to answer it :)

Nope, I checked in /var/log/messages and there is nothing wrong with
it or that line. In fact before I never had that problem.

> xmms plays songs with normal speed?(i.e. just no sound)
Yup, xmms plays my mp3s fine, its just no sound is coming out of it.
I've tried mute & unmute from the function button on the laptop and
increasing the volume, but nothing seems to happen.

> Without loading ACPI do you suffer from the same problem?
If I get you right ACPI means Adv. Configuration and Power Management
support right? I can unload an ACPI from /boot/loader.conf but there
are several ACPIs, which one you want me to unload?

> Could show me "pciconf -lv" output for your ESS card?
pcm0 at pci0:8:0:  class=0x040100 card=0x00b11028 chip=0x1998125d rev=0x10 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ESS Technology'
    device   = 'ES1980 Maestro-3 PCI Audio Accelerator'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = audio

After loading the driver this is what i got:
#pciconf -r pci0:8:0 0:ff
1998125d 

Before (I simply recompiled and install the old maestro3.c driver) I got this:
# pciconf -r pci0:8:0 0:ff
1998125d 
 
Both before and after looks the same. Hope thats what you want.
