No sound at all

[Captaincrunch333]

I just installed freebsd 11.3 everything works flawlessly except i have no sound icon. GStreamer is not working and when I type the command to see my sound card it doesn't show up. if anyone could help that would be much appreciated. I think the base audio is missing. I'm not sure.

FreeBSD does not come with a sound icon. Why would you expect a sound icon in a terminal? You only get a plain console after installation. In addition, no sound applications are installed by default.

Welcome to the forum. Don't worry here are a lot of people willing to help.

... and when I type the command to see my sound card it doesn't show up.

Which command? What steps have you taken to configure the sound card?
Please post the output of pciconf -lv | grep -B4 HDA

You mean cat /dev/sndstat?

Have you tried kldload snd_driver? This will load all available drivers. Then look at /dev/sndstat again.
