audio

Like me, you might be struggling a lot with sound, ever since pulseaudio came up. However, there actually is an alternative that sparked out of the OpenBSD community. It's a light weight and just works. Sadly it isn't what applications use per default, so one is currently forced to use ports...

Hi everybody, currently, I'm trying to set up FreeBSD 11.0 on my HP EliteBook 2530p. After updating the BIOS to the latest version, the system is running perfectly well. Only audio is something I just can't get configured correctly. Maybe someone has experience with the same device and is able...

I'm having issues with audio after trying all the sound drivers, my pciconf -lv lists my available audio devices as: hdac2@pci0:0:27:0: class=0x040300 card=0xda201462 chip=0x8d208086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'C610/X99 series chipset HD Audio...

Hello, I have been trying to get musicpd (mpd) working on a Raspberry Pi Model B. If I set up the null output, I can get it to "play" music using the command line musicpc (mpc). If I use the default audio output config, or if I use no audio output config and let it detect the output, in both...

I'm trying to get my Akai MPK25 USB MIDI controller to work with a DAW such as audio/lmms or audio/ardour. But the controller is not available from within either program using the menus, and I'm not able to connect either DAW to the MIDI controller using audio/qjackctl. I know the hardware is...

I am trying to set up an audio player on a Raspberry Pi B with FreeBSD 11.0 Release. If I understand correctly, audio should be working with 11.0. sysctl output shows the availability of the VCHIQ driver and of a PCM device. However, when trying to play an audio file, no audio is played and...

Good, I hope you can help me: My problem is the next; Freebsd just sends me sound to the front audio connectors, but it does not sound by the rear connectors The drivers are loaded at startup from rc.conf: kld_list="fuse agp snd_ich snd_hda 915kms linux sem coretemp tmpfs aio" My sound card is...

Hi, my FreeBSD this no audio I've compiled the kernel and continues without sound followed the way to be in the handbook https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/sound-setup.html

Hello, I'm new to the forum so hi everyone! I'm a student in IT & telcommunications from France. I currently use Archlinux but I am thinking about switching to a BSD system. At the moment, the only thing that hold me back is that I think that there is no driver for my RME hammerfall II...

Hi friends! There is a outdated version of speech recognition system in ports tree, maybe someone update it to actual version?

Hi all. Does anyone know how to combine rear audio output with front one? All I can is to switch between them with setting sysctl on hw.snd.default_unit=5. All manipulation with snd_hda I have done was unsuccessful: could switch also but not to combine. sysctl dev.hdac.1.pindump=1 && dmesg...

Hello, I am getting bad spectral distribution (bass and treble are too weak) on headphones. Spectral distribution on speakers is fine. It's the same across different headphones, so the problem is at the jack. Tweaking params with sysctl has practically no effect. Neither has a (unrelated)...

I searched the FreeBSD forums for any mention of an applicaton which will send sound to a bluetooth pair of headphones. The answer was "not yet", but the most recent such answer that I found was in 2013. Anythiing newer than that for FreeBSD bluetooth audio?

Hi, I'm trying to set my default sound device in FreeBSD 10.3 and, according to the handbook, the variable hw.snd.default_unit needs to be set pointing to the correct pcm (in my case, and according to /dev/sndstat, it's pcm6). So, I add hw.snd.default_unit=6 in /etc/sysctl.conf but, when system...

Hi all, it looks like there is no portmidi port available. Does any one know why FreeBSD does not support the library? Best regards, Alexei

My video hardware is in the APU, and it is ATI R7. How would I disable ATI hardware, and use VESA, or my supported (Radeon) videocard? (which my supported videocard doesn't show in dmesg output) I unset the ATI driver option in xorg-drivers, and tinkering with the BIOS settings, but I got a...

Hi to all! I am new to FreeBSD, and I have followed this guide (http://www.freebsdworld.gr/files/install10-us.pdf) to install and configure the system. I need to use the portuguese-brazilian (pt-br) keyboard layout, when I started the installation, a screen appeared asking what layout I wish...
