I have been skimming through similar threads to see any possible solutions. I was reluctant to post but here i go...i did a cat /dev/sndstat to display my installed devices.
my default was pcm4, i switched it to pcm5, still no audio output. i wasnt sure if i ws supposed to reboot after changing my default settings. not sure where to proceed from here. Any guidance would be very much appreciated. cpu i5 6600k gpu geforce nvidia 1070 16g ram. I really love freebsd so far. wish i would have discovered it waaaay earlier.
Code:
$ doas cat /dev/sndstat
Installed devices:
pcm0: <NVIDIA (0x0083) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm1: <NVIDIA (0x0083) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
