Had no luck getting sound on my SAM460LE with Sound Blaster PCIe card model 1570. Only AHI options are Filesave, Unit 0 and VOID. None of them produces sound.

That's not a supported card.

I have bought another card with CMI8738 chip which is on supported list. Still the same issue. Card works without problems under AmigaOS.

Did you check VENDOR_ID and DEVICE_ID?
source code

Can you clarify? I do not know where do I check it.

The IDs need to match otherwise the driver will not work.

Thank you for PCIScan command tip. As expected it gave me different values for device ID and vendor ID.
My question is how I can find compatible card if even buying one with supported chip doesn't guarantee it will work.
P.S. Most amazingly at first my unsupported SB1570 Audigy worked, then it stopped for no obvious reason.

Can the device drivers be modified to accept your device ID and your vendor (D?
If the card has the same registers, that would take care of it.

@Isensei
Please tell me your VID and PID, maybe I can patch the driver.

These are from CMI8738 chip card:
Vendor 0x1B21 <ASMedia Technology Inc.> Device 0x1080 <ASM1083/1085 PCIe to PCI Bridge>
And these are from Sound Blaster:
Vendor 0x1102 <Creative Labs> Device 0x12 <SB1570 SB Audigy Fx>

Appreciate for your help @polluks as I mentioned Sound Blaster worked at some point before.

Just for the sake of completeness:
This is not the CMI8738 card itself but the bridge (between the motherboard and the card), look more closely.
Thanks!
FYI

I guess the ASM1083/1085 bridge chip is on the sound card, together with the CMI8738 audio chip.

I agree. I was puzzled myself with the way PCIscan sees the card. On AmigaOS side card works fine. Here is the complete listing of it:

If PCIScan cannot see the card, I suppose the driver will also not see the card.
Seems not to be Uboot related.

> If PCIScan cannot see the card […]

It does see the card, just not behind the bridge on the card ;-)

Hmm, I suppose you cannot check hardware stuff like this bridge in QEMU.

@thread
I have the same problem.
I have PCie card CMI8738 ( MOS supported ). This card is with PCIe-to-PCI bridge on board.

In MorphOS I see only bridge, not sound card. I.e. I cannot setup AHI, no sound.
PCItool.jpg
pci0 is SATA, pci1 is gfx card, no other PCI devices there.

In AmigaOS card is normally visible behind the bridge and works:
Ranger-CMIsound.jpg
Device 06.00.00 is bridge on the card.

It looks like MorphOS not look behind the bridge on PCIe x1 bus.

Please, do you know howto fix it?
And please what sound cards are working with Sam460LE?

P.S. I know that Sam460LE is not on compatibility list ( only ex/cr ). But MorphOS works here fine. I just registered it.

You may have some luck with USB based HW.

I recently got both a headset and cheap speakers that both can be connected via USB (on top of 3.5mm) and are both working that way on my G5.

> It looks like MorphOS not look behind the bridge on PCIe x1 bus.

I remember that this issue was widely discussed and confirmed here on MorphZone in the 2015-2017 time frame, also in connection with the Sam460cr where this was even more relevant. It's unfortunate that it couldn't be resolved by the MorphOS team since then.

Quote:
probably there are very few Sam460 users...

Possible config for MorpHOS is PCI CMI soundcard and PCIe SATA SiI3132. But I want to use all three OSes, so I am not tested, it not works for sure with AmigaOS.

I will try some USB solution

Maybe we have the same bridge bug like this?
