Hello, after a fresh install of FreeBSD (plus nvidia-driver and Gnome2), I seem to have the problem that there is no sound. I read this guide: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/sound-setup.html several times, but still I have no idea what to do. I use the onboard sound card of my ASUS P5Q Deluxe (AD2000B). On Linux, sound mostly worked out of the box, except for ArchLinux, which had no ALSA installed per default. So I tried installing ALSA on FreeBSD but pkg_add doesn't find it and there's no audio/alsa directory in the ports.
What can I do?
The Gnome Volume Control prints:
The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
..., when I try to play a mp3 file using VLC Media Player.
