audio configuration

Hey guys! I noticed, that an electron application I'm using just has the values "Default" for Audio Input and Output Devices. If I set my default device to my Headphones I get audio output, but I would need audio input too, where I do own another audio device for that. Is it possible to set a...

Hello all, I am a total FreeBSD newbie so please be understanding. I discovered this post https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/focusrite-scarlett-solo-no-sound.73174/ which shows other folks got sound working on their FreeBSD systems for similar Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB audio interface. I am...

Guys, I'm quite new to the FreeBSD world but amazed so far. Please, out of curiosity, you guys who use USB DACs could you share ideas and/or sysctl.conf how to tweak the audio system for highest possible quality. Things regarding bitperfect and such. Thank you! This is all I currently got: #...

Hello, I need to use a GUI based multi-band Parametric Equalizer so that I can fine tune the output sound. I'm not doing any kind of music or multimedia production, just simply like to hear audio content at high grade using an ESI Juli@ sound card. 8+ bands is ideal. I did some googling and...

Hello, can someone explain to me how to use the VPC feature of the operating system? I noticed it some time ago in the sound man page, but I didn't find any resources on how to actually use it for per application volume control. It does not seem like it's possible with the default mixer utility...

I'm trying to make my Lenovo to work at best with FreeBSD 13, but I cannot get any sound from the internal speakers, while it works via the HDMI external port. % uname -a FreeBSD olivia 13.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE #0 releng/13.0-n244733-ea31abc261f: Fri Apr 9 04:24:09 UTC 2021...

I have been attempting to get audio passthrough from a FreeBSD VM ( 13.0 ), running with virt-manager ( QEMU ), on Void Linux ( Latest, as of 3/09/21 ). My void setup is currently using Pulseaudio, and I know that FreeBSD uses OSS. I have attempted all the fixes I can find; config changes in...

I'm feeling a bit foolish because I had sound working on this machine before, but I'm having issues on reinstall: updated my default unit from 4 to 5: sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=5 confirmed by issuing command cat /dev/sndstat which yields output: root@mordor:~ # cat /dev/sndstat Installed...

Hi -- my audio and microphone are picked up as seperate devices. /dev/dsp4 is my microphone. /dev/dsp3 is my headset output. If i set pcm3 as my default device in mixertui, i get headset output but no mic. if i set pcm4 it uses my PC's built in speaker, but the microphone works. If i use...

I've been running FreeBSD 12.1 on my MacPro for a couple of weeks and just noticed that sound doesn't appear to be working. Here's what I've done to troubleshoot: sudo cat /dev/sndstat Installed devices: pcm0: <Realtek ALC889A (Analog)> (play/rec) pcm1: <Realtek ALC889A (Rear Digital)>...

I am using plasma 5.18.5 on my FreeBSD desktop. I am having the following issue with my volume slider: cannot hear audio under 75% and max audio is pretty quiet, how to fix? I am on a laptop (hp probook 450 g1) Thank you for reading I look forward to your insight

Hi, so I reinstalled FreeBSD a few days ago, and everything seemed to be working except for sound. I'm going through a slew of problems to configure it. My audio interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8. When I first installed it, I got a desktop running with the dwm wm, Firefox, and the JACK...

Hello all, I finally got around to playing with FreeBSD, and it works like a charm! Except, one thing is driving me nuts. I am migrating from Linux, and there I used my Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface for all my audio I/O, and on Linux it was basically plug n' play. I expected more or...

Not sure what to look at next, appreciate any help. My ThinkPad T510 speakers stop working after 10 to 15 minutes of playing a media file with sound (mpv video, firefox youtube). After speaker sound cuts out, I keep a video playing, then plug in headphones and hear perfect sound in the...

Hello, I have kind of a unique problem. I setup the audio server to enable my headphone jack in the front to work as well as the rear jack (Line-out). This is on a dell mini desktop. Unfortunately, it seems that the driver is designed to auto-mute either output when one is in use (i.e. when the...

I want to configure jacks in a way that enables switching automatically between front headphone jack and back line-out speaker (subwoofers). Currently, I am running FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE For activating the headphone sound, I have to manually issue: sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=1 each time I plug...

Hello all. I've noticed some weirdness in the audio, but only when it's playing through headphones (tried multiple headphones, same result). First of all, in the cyberpunk 2077 trailer, the audio is distorted. I've tried multiple music players, same result. I've tried transcoding it into...

A user told me that if I want to post something (or like this) or translate a post and explain something which is in another language, I can. Edit: In fact he/she was a Demon, but it doesn't matter: we all are users. So, this tutorial came from this site...

Hello, I've seen some posts showing success with HDMI audio output; however, I haven't had any luck with my system. I'm able to get video through HDMI and sound from the audio jack, but I haven't been able to get sound through the HDMI port itself. If anyone has any additional troubleshooting...

I'm having issues with audio after trying all the sound drivers, my pciconf -lv lists my available audio devices as: hdac2@pci0:0:27:0: class=0x040300 card=0xda201462 chip=0x8d208086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'C610/X99 series chipset HD Audio...
