My next goal for a usable FreeBSD Desktop system is to fine tune OSS(v4) for the Focal Utopia 2022 revision headphone. Upon searching the web for some hints or configuration examples, I found this site. Going through I noticed settings for the feeder_rate sample rate converter, and mentions of...

OS: FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE amd64 I have a laptop, and one of its stereo speakers has playback issues. I intend to block that speaker and only use the other as mono. How can I configure FreeBSD's OSS to do that?

OS: FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE amd64. (lib32.txz component not installed during FreeBSD installation.) When I installed wine via pkg and immediately issued winecfg without additional configuration, this happened: /home/nphuracm/.i386-wine-pkg//usr/local/bin/wine doesn't exist! Try installing 32-bit...

I recently set up a FreeBSD desktop, and I've managed to get Bluetooth headphones working using the following command: virtual_oss -T /dev/sndstat -C 2 -c 2 -r 48000 -b 16 -s 20ms -P /dev/bluetooth/headphones -R /dev/null -w vdsp.ctl -d dsp -l mixer Admittedly, I have only a cursory...

Hello. I use 14.1-STABLE and when I was using 14.0-R or 14.0-STABLE usbhid was doing it's job. Now I can't control OSS audio with multimedia keys as I used to. I use dwm with volume control patch. I have hw.usb.usbhid.enable="1" in /boot/loader.conf. % uname -aKU FreeBSD desktop.home.lan...

Freebsd use obs studio without pulse audio and use oss audio input capture for your microphone and virtual oss to capture desktop audio pulse audio was causing audio popping recording on fresbsd and switching to oss audio has fixed the issue in this video i cover setting up your mic with...

I am trying to change default audio device without restarting applications to take effect, I think that is possible using virtual_oss device but it seems that I can't change default audio device to virtual_oss generated. My audio devices: dmesg |grep pcm pcm0: <Intel Haswell (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at...

Hi everyone, I'm running 13.1-RELEASE-p6 with an onboard Realtek ALC255 and OSS as my audio system. Tonight I upgraded to Firefox 112.0 and now there's no sound in Firefox. System audio works; I tested it using VLC. I do have "media.cubeb.backend" set to "oss" in Firefox. I confirmed that...

This is my first post on this forum - so here goes: I am currently using FreeBSD as a desktop system. My sound card is an ASUS Xonar D2X, which is only supported by audio/oss. I made a fresh install of FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE and I compiled a custom kernel without any sound support before...

Chrome sndio and oss-4 When I want to use another browser than firefox I do not have sound. I have Audigy sound cards compiled the kernel to support oss 4Front. The sound in the programs you use is perfect but when I try to use sndio or do some test it doesn't work. Any idea of how to use...

Greetings fellow Beastie followers, I want to integrate MIDI into the sound system for my desktop environment. The settings allow me to select a MIDI device and I usually used audio/timidity++ as an auto-starting daemon on Linux systems to get this functionality, but I can't figure out how to...

I am trying to implement a basic example to record a few seconds of audio in FreeBSD, which uses a modified OSS version. Following the sample files included in the FreeBSD source code and the OSS programming guide I have prepared the following sample program: #include <sys/soundcard.h> #include...

The big two video recorders obs-studio and simplescreenrecorder depend on sound systems that are not native to FreeBSD. I like many others don't care to use Pulseaudio, ALSA, or JACK. Is there any recorders that support OSS at least as a build option that I'm not aware of?

Firstly, I got sound and video working fine in FreeBSD before upgrading to Gnome-4X versions. As a desperate attempt, I switched to KDE Plasma now and sound, video working fine. But, I would prefer to get Gnome-41 with audio working. So, right now in Gnome-41 - no audio working. I would like...

Hello, can someone explain to me how to use the VPC feature of the operating system? I noticed it some time ago in the sound man page, but I didn't find any resources on how to actually use it for per application volume control. It does not seem like it's possible with the default mixer utility...

I have sound working in FreeBSD-12.2. I did an upgrade to FreeBSD-13.0 and since then, no sound. I have Gnome-41 desktop and pulseaudio installed. drm-kmod installed. The error when I try to play an mp3 file is: pcm4: chn_write(): pcm4:virtual:dsp4.vp3: play interrupt timeout, channel dead...

Hello! I have FreeBSD 13 on my desktop(AMD Ryzen). Everything is pretty smooth expect one little but very annoying issue. During boot(specifically during sound card/system init) I have very very loud sound in my headphones for a short moment. It's like when you power on huge speakers using...

I have read sound(4) and mixer(8) but I wonder how I can control volume for programs individually. In OpenBSD, for instance, programs appear along with other mixer faders like master, so I can use sndioctl to adjust programs just like I can use it to control the master level. How do I have to...

I've been on a quest to figure out how to capture audio output for a long time. Apparently OSS doesn't natively support it. Recently I managed to kind of do it using audio/virtual_oss (specifically virtual_oss -C 2 -c 2 -r 48000 -b 16 -s 1024 -f /dev/null -w vdsp -l dsp), but with two...
