no sound in pc-bsd

[goraxmax]

Hello,
i've just installed pc-bsd 9 (go out linux ), without problems,
except the fact i have not sound

i tried "kldload snd_driver" (in root)=>no results

just below the result of

cat /dev/sndstat



FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <HDA ATI RS690/780 HDMI PCM #0 HDMI> (play)
pcm1: <HDA Realtek ALC892 PCM #0 Analog> (play/rec) default
pcm2: <HDA Realtek ALC892 PCM #1 Analog> (play/rec)
pcm3: <HDA Realtek ALC892 PCM #2 Digital> (play/rec)
pcm4: <HDA Realtek ALC892 PCM #3 Digital> (play)

any idea?

Thanks for your responses

I have the same problem.

# cat /dev/sndstat

pcm7: <HDA Intel Ibex Peak HDMI PCM #0 DisplayPort> (play)

Phonon lists only 'default audio device'.

What would be the procedure to find out why the sound device is not recognized?

[Alvin]

Found it. I didn't know phonon only lists the 'default' device. My headset was plugged in the front, so I needed to change the default device from pcm4 to pcm5:

# sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=5

[nemysis]

Perhaps can this helps someone to adjust fast automaticaly default Sound Unit


I have switched full to Bourne shell from Bash and here is new Version

cat /home/bin/headset
#!/bin/sh

# Author nemysis

echo ""
echo "$0"
echo ""

echo ""
echo You are `whoami`
echo""
echo "Start this as root!"
echo ""

# Without root no chance
euid=`ps -o uid= $$`
if [ $euid -ne 0 ]
then
echo "This script needs root privileges. Aborting now..."
echo ""
exit 1
fi


echo ""
echo -n "Which Sound Device would You use? Please use only Number."
echo ""
echo ""
cat /dev/sndstat
echo ""
read HEADPHONES

echo ""
echo ""
echo -n "Would You adjust Sound Device for Headphones? (y,n)"
echo ""
echo ""
read SOUNDDEVICE
if [ "${SOUNDDEVICE}" = "Y" -o "${SOUNDDEVICE}" = "y" ]
then
sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=$HEADPHONES
else
echo ""
echo "Sound Device for Headphones isn't adjusted"
echo ""
fi

echo ""
cat /dev/sndstat
echo ""
playsound /usr/local/share/sounds/local/bounce.wav
echo ""


playsound is from FreeBSD Port audio/sdl_sound

/usr/local/share/sounds/local/bounce.wav is from FreeBSD Port net-im/gajim


Please look http://forums.pcbsd.org/showthread.php?t=16034 this is fast the same as here.
