Hello,
I'm hoping someone can give me some help getting audio working on this
beast. I'm by no means an audiophile; I just like to listen to the
occasional CD and/or online station while I work. None of the jacks on the
back of the tower seem to do anything.
In addition, when starting a Virtual Machine under VirtualBox, I get a popup
saying:
"Some audio devices (PCM_in, PCM_mic) could not be opened". Under Details,
the Error ID is HostAudioNotResponding.
$ cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386)
Installed devices:
pcm0:<HDA ATI R6xx HDMI PCM #0 HDMI> (play) default
pcm1:<HDA Analog Devices AD1984A PCM #0 Analog> (play/rec)
pcm2:<HDA Analog Devices AD1984A PCM #1 Analog> (play/rec)
Per the snd_hda manpage, I'm also attaching the hda-related output from a
verbose boot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
- Richart
Your default device is currently the HDMI output on your graphics
card. You probably want to play with sysctl snd.default_unit=1 (or 2)
to set it to one of the analog outputs. One should be the front audio,
the other one should be the back.
Once you've got it sorted out, add to /etc/sysctl.conf to persist it.
Cheers
Tom
OK, now I can get sound from both vlc and xmms as long as I plug the speakers
into the headphone jack on the front of the tower, which is a major improvement!
It doesn't make any difference which (non-zero) value I give to
hw.snd.default_unit. VMs no longer complain at startup, but there's still no
audio from them; there's also no sound from flash. I'm pretty sure that's what
BBC Radio uses, and I've always liked to listen to Radio 4's news at 1 (which is
8 AM for me).
Many thanks for your help!
While I know it's generally bad form to follow up to myself, I've made some more
progress and it might be useful to someone else.
The problem with flash was apparently that I had to symlink
/usr/compat/linux/lib/libssl.so.5 to the currently installed version,
libssl.so.0.9.8g. Strange but true...
At any rate, I now have sound from everything I did before except for VMs under
Virtual Box.
Once again, thanks, Tom, for your help.
