if sound requires restart sysctl.conf dev.hdac.%d.polling=1

I remember recently having used a command to get a list of all current playing streams, but I'm not able to remember what was that command. It dumps a list of current playing sound streams on channels (with process name, ex. firefox, mplayer). Any hint?

How do I mute volume in FreeBSD laptop running 12-CURRENT? I tried running mixer vol mute, which sets the volume to 0. However there is no way to get back the old volume level, something line mixer vol unmute or even mixer vol mute toggle. I run a minimal window setup around Xmonad, I came...

Hello Team! There has been a while since I was active and I am back in a little of an emergency. On my laptop running FreeBSD I have had some mixed experiences with the sound. There is no troubles with the driver or system settings (as far as I know) but somehow it seems that the sound quality...

Hello! The default configuration is not working to mute the line-out when I plug the headphone. I tried putting this in /boot/device.hints but without success: hint.hdac.1.cad0.nid20.config="as=1 device=Line-out" hint.hdac.1.cad0.nid27.config="as=2 device=Headphones" I am indeed quite lost...

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...

I'm having a problem with a HiFace Two DAC connected to an Ubuntu guest on VirtualBox. The host is a NAS4Free (FreeBSD based). On a bare Ubuntu I get this module correct working and reported like this in Ubuntu: [1191641.895471] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-hiface...

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

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...

Like me, you might be struggling a lot with sound, ever since pulseaudio came up. However, there actually is an alternative that sparked out of the OpenBSD community. It's a light weight and just works. Sadly it isn't what applications use per default, so one is currently forced to use ports...

Hi, I'm new in BSD world and I like it! But there's a problem with changing volume, it works in pavucontrol but not in mixer, I want to assign a keyboard shortcut so I need to fix changing volume in it. root@zezik-pc:/ # mixer -f /dev/dsp3 Mixer pcm is currently set to 45:45 Mixer rec...

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...

Its Friday, finally, thankfully. Another trillion zeros and ones routed to the great ether. Imagine walking into a server room where all the machines run FreeBSD, there are no other sounds in the room, and the OS emits sounds. Kernel sounds, user process sounds, cron jobs kicking off stuff and...

Hi all. I have a laptop (Lenovo X220) plugged into a docking station and I would like to have sound played through the speakers which are plugged into the headphone port at the back of the docking station. At the moment, when I plug my speakers into the dock, I get nothing. Generally the sound...

After updating from 10.3-RELEASE-p6 to 10.3-RELEASE-p7 using freebsd-update I am unable to get sound over my DisplayPort / HDMI. Background info: cat /dev/sndstat Installed devices: pcm0: <Conexant CX20590 (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec) default pcm1: <Intel Cougar Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)...

Hi, I'm trying to set my default sound device in FreeBSD 10.3 and, according to the handbook, the variable hw.snd.default_unit needs to be set pointing to the correct pcm (in my case, and according to /dev/sndstat, it's pcm6). So, I add hw.snd.default_unit=6 in /etc/sysctl.conf but, when system...

Skip two paragraphs to get to the issue if you don't want to know the back story. I was using Xfce until a few weeks ago. It ran fine...or at least it did. I ran into some issues with loading Xfce. It would crash my computer for whatever reason. I don't remember a particular update causing this...

Hi all, Just setting on /boot/device.hints below hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid20.config="as=1" hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid22.config="as=2 seq=15" Speaker works with very good sound quality. headphone have no sound but sounds still came out of speaker. I tried several configurations but no one worked. Can...

Hello! My speakers does not seem to work under FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE . Loaded all drivers using kldload snd_driver. pciconf -lv: hostb0@pci0:0:0:0: class=0x060000 card=0x50001458 chip=0x27708086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82945G/GZ/P/PL Memory Controller...

Hi! I'm writing in this forum because last night I was setting up my FreeBSD 10.2 and I don't know how to have sound. I have an external USB sound card (Edirol UA-25) and, in Linux, I just needed to install ALSA packages, that have the driver for that sound card, and it worked well. In FreeBSD...
