pulseaudio

I have a FreeBSD guest I'm trying to get stood-up in VirtualBox-OSE. Sound works from the console (e.g. I can `cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp` and hear static, as my unprivileged user) but there's no functional sound in X, and videos won't play in Chromium on YouTube. Historically this has meant a...

I'm trying to build chromium with pulseaudio support, but I'm encountering an error when building. Not sure if it's because of the pulseaudio support or if I just can't build chromium on my system. I installed all the build dependencies listed here and after building for about an hour it...

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...

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...

Dear community, Many people are annoyed by PulseAudio. Recent examples: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/looking-to-setup-a-desktop-environment-that-doesnt-need-pulseaudio.80949/ https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/after-upgrading-no-more-audio-in-firefox.81307/ This attitude seem to fade...

<https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse#readme> If apulse could be ported to FreeBSD, might there be fewer complaints about PulseAudio? (Hint: this is not an invitation to complain about PulseAudio.)

If I recall correctly: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/277 – this 2020 pull request (with patches from FreeBSD) was made, upstream, with the intention of FreeBSD subsequently benefiting from the merge. True? If so: are we (downstream) still awaiting the...

This is on FreeBSD-12.1. I installed paprefs (Pulseaudio preferences) and it is crashing with error: :~% paprefs (paprefs:76944): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 12:19:44.019: Settings schema 'org.freedesktop.pulseaudio.module-group' is not installed zsh: trace trap (core dumped) paprefs I searched for...

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...
