no audio at all freebsd-16-current

[gergeskirolos59]

well i tried 16-current and found some bug fixes and new bugs anyway one of them is that no audio at all

system is able to detect sound devices correctly

kirolos@freebsd:~ $ dmesg | grep pcm
pcm0: <NVIDIA (0x00a7) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 4 on hdaa0
pcm1: <NVIDIA (0x00a7) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 5 on hdaa0
pcm2: <NVIDIA (0x00a7) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 6 on hdaa0
pcm3: <NVIDIA (0x00a7) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 7 on hdaa0
pcm4: <Realtek ALC897 (Rear Analog)> at nid 20 and 24,26 on hdaa1
pcm5: <Realtek ALC897 (Front Analog)> at nid 27 and 25 on hdaa1
pcm6: <Realtek ALC897 (Internal Digital)> at nid 17 on hdaa1
kirolos@freebsd:~ $

but no sound devices detected when trying to change device with kde

also using

sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=n

for manual change does not help much so is there something i am missing?

I'd try adding yourself to audio group:

pw groupmod audio -m USER

It works but i do not remember needing to do this on 15.1 , is there anything changed?

Thread 'Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions'

Jun 24, 2013

The FreeBSD Forums cater primarily to end-users and systems administrators. As such, the Forums focus almost exclusively on FreeBSD versions that are officially supported according to the official FreeBSD website. Since resources are scarce, the FreeBSD Forums strongly suggest that anyone asking questions on the forums run one of the officially supported versions (see the links at the end of this post), for which the installed user base is logically the broadest.

In terms of 'unsupported versions' we make the following distinction:

1. FreeBSD versions that are...

so is there something i am missingt?

Most recent version (at this time of this post) is 15.1-RELEASE

With 16 you are tinkering with some CURRENT - yet not finished but still under development - version.
It's like you are moving into a building still under construction and then wonder/complain why there is no roof, no plumbing, no carpets, no furniture ... why it's not finished built, yet. Well, Duh! The building still is under construction, so of course it's not finished, yet.

It changed a month or two ago iirc but not sure on specifics (did some searching and came across something that mentioned an audio group )

No OS is finished (it's why I prefer rolling-release)

"group audio" was introduced with commits:

virtual_oss(8): Create loopback devices with GID_AUDIO

Make sure the user is part of the audio group to avoid unintended
snooping of loopback audio by unprivileged users.

sound: Create all device nodes with GID_AUDIO
groups.7: Document audio group

Always read /usr/src/UPDATING when switching to -current.

Just tried on a bhyve VM. I updated the CURRENT install (and I am in audio group) and audio was fine.
