PC Speaker

Hello there.A few days ago, after some updates a FAIL message appears during boot that says:

No state is present for card pcsp
Unknown hardware "PC-Speaker" "" "" ""
Hardware is initialized using a guess method
No state is present for card pcsp                  [FAIL]

The modules I load at rc.conf are

MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq tg3 iwl3945 snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel snd_pcsp pcspkr soundcore cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_stats cpufreq_conservative)

Can you tell me how to fix this?

Thank you...:cool:

Re: PC Speaker

Unless you enjoy the annoying pc speaker beep, you can comment out pcspkr and snd_pcsp in your MODULES line (ie. !snd_pcsp !pcspkr)

Re: PC Speaker

That did the trick thanks! But what was that error about anyway? What about the blank "" "" "" ? Thank You!:D

Re: PC Speaker

Some time ago the snd_pcsp module was introduced and if you are curious, try a forum search with snd_pcsp and see all the problems people were having.  You are not alone.
