problem with the snd_hda

[z0ran]

I have right now fbsd 7.1 -stable, my desktop is kde4 and sound doesn't work, actualy, i can see that amarok, xine and smplayer are working but i can't hear it. I was reading handbook, try to do everythug it says but no results at all.
I compiled "device sound" in my kernel, i also loaded in loader.conf
snd_hda_load="YES" and snd_ad1816.ko_load="YES"

this is my "cat /dev/sndstat:
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2007061600/amd64)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <HDA ATI RS690/780 HDMI PCM #0 Digital> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 kld snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/0r:0v channels default)
pcm1: <HDA IDT 92HD206X PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac1 kld snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex)
pcm2: <HDA IDT 92HD206X PCM #1 Digital> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac1 kld snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/0r:0v channels)

and this is "mixer -f /dev/mixer1"
Mixer vol is currently set to 98:98
Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75
Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75
Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0
Recording source: mic
I have to say that on 7.1-Beta with GNOME desktop, i had no problem with the sound at all.
If anyone have any idea, please let me know, thanks in advance!

Make sure you are using correct device: in your case it can be pcm[0-2]
I'm not snd_hda expert but you will certainly get better response on multimedia@ mailing list.

hi z0ran,
i have the same problem. I have to change the default sound unit:

sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=X.

I think, in your case x is 1 or 2. Try out and good luck

huethuong, you was right, i have sound and thanks so lot, i put in my loader.conf hw.snd.default_unit=1, wasn't 2, and i got awesome sound..you are the man, thanks one more time :)

Note that this is just what /dev/sndstat said. You were outputting sound through your HDMI port.

[z0ran]

Also, one of my mistake was that i didn't read "man sound" page carefully, it covers everything, from a-z, laziness is not so good, but i have to learn the hard way, the handbook already told me how important is to compile "device sound" in kernel, it also recomend to read man page...what can i say, i was so sloppy person this time!
Thanks everybody for the help, great forum, great people!

when i try to do something like

sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=1
it gives me an error:
hw.snd.default_unit: 0
sysctl: hw.snd.default_unit: Invalid argument

any advice? thank you.
