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 have sound working in FreeBSD-12.2. I did an upgrade to FreeBSD-13.0 and since then, no sound. I have Gnome-41 desktop and pulseaudio installed. drm-kmod installed. The error when I try to play an mp3 file is: pcm4: chn_write(): pcm4:virtual:dsp4.vp3: play interrupt timeout, channel dead...

Hello! I have FreeBSD 13 on my desktop(AMD Ryzen). Everything is pretty smooth expect one little but very annoying issue. During boot(specifically during sound card/system init) I have very very loud sound in my headphones for a short moment. It's like when you power on huge speakers using...

I have read sound(4) and mixer(8) but I wonder how I can control volume for programs individually. In OpenBSD, for instance, programs appear along with other mixer faders like master, so I can use sndioctl to adjust programs just like I can use it to control the master level. How do I have to...

I've been on a quest to figure out how to capture audio output for a long time. Apparently OSS doesn't natively support it. Recently I managed to kind of do it using audio/virtual_oss (specifically virtual_oss -C 2 -c 2 -r 48000 -b 16 -s 1024 -f /dev/null -w vdsp -l dsp), but with two...

I've looked through these threads: * https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/is-there-any-dac-compatible-with-freebsd.74463/ * https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/oss-sound-quality.69335/ With dev.pcm.2.play.chans=0 and dev.pcm.2.bitperfect=0, playback of 44.1 and 48KHz files has a white noise...

I have tried to record audio in many different ways. I have tried recording with obs-studio, simplescreenrecorder, and via ffmpeg. None of these methods work. Usually I tried to record from /dev/dsp3 but I also tried to record from /dev/dsp4 and all other outputs, but nothing works. Playing...

The default settings of oss are insane. These settings are for pure quality without cracking or any other kind of distortion and low-quality annoyance. This is an passthrough, bypassing some features you don't need. This gives you full quality without thinking about it anymore. sysctl.conf...

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...

What would it take to have a drop-in replacement for audio/libcanberra and audio/libcanberra-gtk3 that works on top of oss or audio/sndio, and has no graphical components or graphical dependencies to play audio from audio/freedesktop-sound-theme on desktop programs? For reference: "PulseAudio...

How come many applications already support sndio, yet I rarely see oss compile-time options?

I try to build a FreeBSD Kernel and disable device sound. This is needed for my USB Sound: ASUS Essence One MKII MUSES Edition. To bring this hardware to work I want to install the port: audio/oss This port requires to disable the device sound in kernel. It works great with FreeBSD 10. Now I...

I'm trying to get my Akai MPK25 USB MIDI controller to work with a DAW such as audio/lmms or audio/ardour. But the controller is not available from within either program using the menus, and I'm not able to connect either DAW to the MIDI controller using audio/qjackctl. I know the hardware is...

Good, I hope you can help me: My problem is the next; Freebsd just sends me sound to the front audio connectors, but it does not sound by the rear connectors The drivers are loaded at startup from rc.conf: kld_list="fuse agp snd_ich snd_hda 915kms linux sem coretemp tmpfs aio" My sound card is...
