Hi, so I reinstalled FreeBSD a few days ago, and everything seemed to be working except for sound. I'm going through a slew of problems to configure it. My audio interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8.
When I first installed it, I got a desktop running with the dwm wm, Firefox, and the JACK server, all using pkg. Everything worked fine, but whenever I attempted to play audio, it would play it at extremely fast speeds, for reasons I do not know. I could not find my interface in qjackctl either, for some weird reason. I set
I recompiled a new kernel without all the sound modules and attempted to use the oss package, but running

ossinfo
says that I have no devices at ALL! I don't know what to do. Here is the output of ossinfo
