Quoting Lawrence Fitzgerald <anyedge@gmail.com> (from Mon, 1 Mar 2010 16:18:27 -0500): > Hello, I am currently running PCBSD 8.0 on my Sager NP2096 laptop and I am > having problems with the sound detection: > > root@pcbsd-8111# dmesg | grep pcm > pcm0: <HDA Realtek ALC268 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 > pcm1: <HDA NVidia MCP78 HDMI PCM #0 Digital> at cad 3 nid 1 on hdac0 > pcm0: <HDA Realtek ALC268 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 > pcm1: <HDA NVidia MCP78 HDMI PCM #0 Digital> at cad 3 nid 1 on hdac0 Is this after a cold or a warm boot? There are systems out there, where the dmesg output of a previous boot can be seen in the following boot. So it can be the case that there is just two times the boot messages in the dmesg. you can confirm by either reading it completely and verifying if there is two times the full dmesg, or by shutting down the system for a minute (cold start) and grep again. > root@pcbsd-8111# cat /dev/sndstat > FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) > Installed devices: > pcm0: <HDA Realtek ALC268 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0 kld snd_hda > [MPSAFE] (1p:5v/1r:4v channels duplex default) This is the real audio input/output. > pcm1: <HDA NVidia MCP78 HDMI PCM #0 Digital> at cad 3 nid 1 on hdac0 kld > snd_hda [MPSAFE] (1p:2v/0r:0v channels simplex) This is audio via your graphic card (HDMI cable). > KMixer shows two sets of "OSS Audio" tabs available--both with "Front" and > "PCM" slide bars.

If not, set all mixer devices to a value which should let sound go through, and then try them *all* please. It may be the case that there is a misunderstanding between the software and the hardware which one to use. Please also read "man snd_hda" for what you can try if there is no sound.
