i have no sound

yes please. i have no sound too. but i use 8.0-stable. prior to this sound is ok.
once again, please tell me too.

thanks in advance.
 
in side /boot/defaults/loader.conf
under Sound modules:
i changed snd_driver_load="NO" to snd_driver_load="YES"
and rebooted and my sound worked.

after reboot cat /dev/sndstat to find out which driver
it's using. then go back to /boot/defaults/loader.conf
and reset snd_driver to NO and find whatever driver
it's using an set it to YES.
 
No it's not. You should never change that. It's used as a reference by the loader for the system startup and by the user for their customizations.
You should instead create a /boot/loader.conf file that overrides the defaults.
And loading snd_driver is a waste of time and memory space since it loads every single driver. You should find the appropriate driver for your card and use that. For example snd_ich_load="YES".

The easiest way to figure out which driver to use ... is to kldload snd_driver and let the kernel figure out which driver to use. Once that is done, then you cat /dev/sndstat to see which it uses, and add that one specific driver to /boot/loader.conf.

IOW, snd_driver is not a waste of time or resources. It's there for a very good reason. May as well use it.
 
grimx was proposing snd_driver as a permanent solution, but then later edited the post while I was writing mine, and added the second paragraph which I didn't notice.
This sentence from my post was related to the unedited version of grimx's post.

i still have sound problem with my machine
 
jotawski, you loaded snd_driver? If so, then your sound card is not supported by the OSS drivers in FreeBSD. What is the output of 'pciconf -vl'?

My sound isn't working either. I've tried loading all sound drivers, but everything that plays is muted. I'm running the GENERIC kernel. Without sound I'm unable to watch hulu :(
 
If cat /dev/sndstat returns installed devices, and you're still not getting sound, try alterign your mixer settings using the mixer command.

I wasted away about 2 hours because I forgot that recently.
 
gpatrick, your pcm0 device is the digital HDMI output from your video card. Is that what you're trying to get sound from?
