Your dmesg shows that the system is detecting your card just fine. BTW here's the hardware list for OpenBSD on i386 hardware.
http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html
As you can see by the Sound Devices list, SiS 7012 is supported by the auich driver (dmesg shows an auich0 device).

Question is, what are you trying to do to play the sound on OpenBSD? Have you installed an mp3 player or what?

hey,thanks for the reply scorpion.. i was trying to play a SNES rom with zsnes and i didnt hear any sound.

additionally this is what showed in the xterm window (note i typed this by hand, cant figure out how to copy paste from xterm).

PHP Code:
 auich0: measured ac97 link rate at 48001 Hz, will use 48000
SDL: Audio timeout - buggy audio driver? (disabled)
audio: Bad file descriptor 


i will download a package to test an mp3 next. what program would you recommend?

thanks again for your time, --avery

mpg123 might be a good one to try out. It is available via the ports, so you can try installing from there. Alternatively, you could use pkg_add.

If that works but your nintendo emulator doesn't, I suggest you get in touch with the port maintainer:
http://www.openbsd.org/3.6_packages...6.tgz-long.html
Of course, I'm assuming you installed this using pkg_add. If you didn't, try installing it with pkg_add and see what happens.

Try using mixerctl and see if you need to jack up the volume. Also, try using the mpg123 -a /dev/audio0 filename.mp3 to see if it is going to audio0

Michael Angelo huh? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I'll confess I owned a couple of Nitro albums -- that's one hair band I'll be happy to confess owning records of any time . Always loved the work he did on the quad guitar. 20 Questions with Michael Angelo

hey scorpion,thanks for the continued support. yeah michael angelo is awesome; one of my favorite guitarist.

i am having trouble getting mixerctl to work. when i run mixerctl it says:

PHP Code:
 mixerctl: /dev/mixer: Operation not supported by device 


i read the man page for mixerctl and tried mixerctl -a --v and that yields the same results.

please advise what to try next, --avery
