Hello!

I have usb headset, that I would like to use for streaming. I connected it to my pc, got it recognized:
Code:

uaudio0: No MIDI sequencer.

But but but, I can't select this as an output nor input anywhere in the media programs, I assume because it doesn't have dsp device assigned?
Code: 
~/ ls -l /dev/dsp*

So I ask for help, what should I do to make it working?

PS:
Code:

~/ kldload snd_uaudio
kldload: can't load snd_uaudio: module already loaded or in kernel
 
I wasn't aware I'm using pulseaudio to be honest. I never configured it(have it installed as dependency to something), thus I expected to be bound to sndio.
Earlier I tried to execute pulseaudio -k, but it stated that there is no active deamon, which only confirmed my thoughts.
But then I tried to start pulseaudio when was listening to music in firefox. it responded that the deamon is already active.
At first I was surprised, but then executed pulseaudio -k and it helped discovering usb headset.
that's the story :)
 
I might mixed OSS and sndio in my mind.
either way, I haven't purposefully set up anything beyond following very limited set of instructions in the handbook. Hence I expected to have default sound backend, whether it's OSS or sndio.
Thnx for the tip regarding pulseaudio config, will try it.
 
The native sound interface is indeed OSS. Then, if you want, sndio can run on top of that as an additional layer between OSS and applications, just like pulseaudio.
