Oracle Solaris 11 no sound despite finding hardware
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to Solaris, less than a week to give an idea how green I am.Smilie Although new to UNIX, I've been running Linux (i.e. OpenSUSE, Ultimate Edition, Arch, and obviously Ubuntu) for many years, so, I decided to put Solaris 11 on my 12 core opteron. I had a bit of difficulty with video drivers and got them to work, however, I am completely dumbfounded when it comes to my sound NOT working.Smilie
Code:
$ ls /dev/sound gives the following:
0                2ctl             audiocmi:0dsp    audiohd:1ctl
0ctl             audiocmi:0       audiocmi:0mixer  audiohd:1dsp
2                audiocmi:0ctl    audiohd:1        audiohd:1mixer

That being said, I've tried different devices in the "Sound Preferences" section to no avail. I've also tried another sound card and got a similar output that the device and drivers were working. I've also made sure that the cables are hooked up properly just to be sure I've exausted all options. I also went into the Device Driver Utility and didn't see anything wrong there as well, in fact I got the following:

device-id:                          111

I'm terribly sorry that I couldn't justify the margins with the output, but, I figured it would be better than nothing.
All that being said, I would greatly appreciate if someone could/would help me out with this problem.
Thanks for your time and help.

-Pete
