Sound problem

[David30]

Using PC-BSD 9 (64-bit).

Hi

When I connect my headphones, I don't get any sound unless I manually make a change.
After *lots* of Google searching, I eventually discovered that I must go into a Terminal and type: sudo sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=5

and then the sound works through the headphones. Any programs which have been opened must be closed and re-opened for the sound to work in them programs e.g. the Chromium web browser and sound in YouTube videos.

I don't have this problem on the same computer when I use Ubuntu 12.04 or Windows 7 (both 64-bit).

I'm a newbie to PC-BSD, so hoping I don't get any complicated technical replies to this posting. Cheers.

There is a new GUI going into the Control Panel for 9.1, which will let
you do this all graphically now
