Hi,

I have a HP pavillion DV6433cl model laptop with Solaris 10 installed. But I need to download a third party sound driver in order for me to listen to my streaming videos and recordings.

Please help on where I can download this?

Thx.

Hey there,

This blog has some interesting information:

Also, try this driver here, from openSolaris.org

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/commun...8-10-15.tar.gz

For reference, I got to that link from this one:

http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thre...281482&#281482

Not for your "specific" model, but about as close as I could find.

Best wishes and I hope it works out for you!

I had saved the file onto my Home folder now, but before I touch it, can you please tell me how to extract and install this driver?

many thanks.

Hey there,

Check this out from the readme and let me know if any part is confusing. Hopefully I can help clear it up for you.

1. backup old audiohd driver
cp /kernel/drv/audiohd /kernel/drv/audiohd.bak
cp /kernel/drv/amd64/audiohd /kernel/drv/amd64/audiohd.bak
2. untar the files.
3. cp obj32/audiohd /kernel/drv/
cp obj64/auduiohd /kernel/drv/amd64/
4. Do install the driver under the console not the gnome desktop:
rem_drv audiohd
add_drv -i"pciclass,0403" audiohd
5. Reboot

For instance, some of your paths may be different

Best of luck!

I believe that Solaris are using these drivers? Here are lots of drivers:

kebabert.

Thanks, your solution works wonders...


And to all,

My streamlink is opened up with the default Real Player which is fine....Its OK.

But how can I open up the REAL PLAYER executable in order for me to OPEN and play my streaming audio? In which directory would that be?

I hope you all know what I mean, like in Windows...I would select which program to open with by using a menu and I would click or choose that program in order for that applaication to work...How can I do this with Solaris? And I need to locate the actual Real Player executable.

Ok, I had saved my PLS audio file in my HOME directory, but how can I make it reopen or play with Real Player if I want to open the streaming PLS audio file again from my home directory??

It ONLY plays or opens up with the Real Player if I directly choose the default program to play with in the DOWNLOADING PROMPT WINDOW.

Now, in this case, I chose to download and SAVE to my HOME....But it will not open with Real Player....How can I make it run with it???

Ok.....Im sorry to be a pest....
But in the meantime, I did the following by opening up my Web Browser and typing this:
file:///export/home and locating the PLS file. Then, I can select open with default application which is Real Player...

Can someone please tell me another method? This is just temporary....

Here you find several movie players, vlc player, mplayer, etc:

Hi there,

Thanks again for your support, I will check these out later.
But in the meantime, I would like to use Real Player (the built-in) one.

Now, my question is, how can I play my PLS media file (the nextime I open it) with Real Player?

I did the following by opening up my Web Browser and typing this:
file:///export/home and locating the PLS file. Then, I can select open with default application which is Real Player...

But, without using the browser, how can I play this audio file with the Player?
