Solved No sound with M-Audio Audiophile 2496

[hwagemann]

Edit: I don't know what exactly solves this issue, maybe a remove of audio/oss but sound works now. I don't delete this thread, maybe it could helpful for others who also own an M-Audio Audiophile 2496.

Hello,

this soundcard is listed as supported directly by driver of FreeBSD Kernel but I've trouble to configure it.

cat /dev/sndstat
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Envy24 audio (M Audio Audiophile 2496)> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <NVIDIA (0x0051) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm2: <NVIDIA (0x0051) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm3: <Realtek ALC887 (Rear Analog)> (play/rec)
pcm4: <Realtek ALC887 (Front Analog)> (play/rec)

This looks good.

root@biber:/usr/home/holger # fstat | grep dsp
root@biber:/usr/home/holger #

Also looks good.

mixer
Mixer vol  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer bass  is currently set to  0:0
Mixer treble  is currently set to  0:0
Mixer synth  is currently set to  0:0
Mixer pcm  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer speaker  is currently set to  0:0
Mixer line  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer mic  is currently set to  0:0
Mixer cd  is currently set to  0:0
Mixer mix  is currently set to  0:0
Recording source: mic

Looks good, vol, pcm and line are set to 100%.

But I hear no sound output, neither from vlc, audacity or from browser on a youtube video.

cat luckybackup.core /dev/dsp

also gives no noise.

During start of FreeBSD, before Xserver becomes ready I get seven lines with following output::

mixer: WRITE_MIXER: device not configured

I guess, this is not so good.

With Debian GNU/Linux sound output is fine so there is nothing wrong with hardware.

I need further help. This card gives good audio quality, even better than integrated soundchip from intel.

Apart from that an external USB soundcard Aureon 7.1 works under FreeBSD out of the box without any tinkering.

Kind regards,
Holger
