Hi, I'm trying to get my sound system up and running on my Dell Vostro 1500 but I'm running into some difficulties. I DO have sound playing, but it is playing through the headphone jack, not the speakers. Also, there is a built in microphone as well as a mic jack, i.e. when I was using Vista I could just talk at my computer and it'd record with no external microphone. I've been trying to do the same with Krec but I haven't been successful yet. I also DON'T have an external mic yet so I haven't been able to test if the mic jack is working or not. Thus far the sound seems to be nice when I have headphones on and I'm able to control the volume with Kmix and mixer. Things that I've noticed and I'm not sure if they're related are that when I watch a movie with mplayer the sounds seems to be lagged by maybe a quarter or a half of a second. Not too much, but enough to notice, which is enough! I'm not quite sure that that's related though. Also, mixer shows that mic is my recording source but mixer doesn't show mic as a device! By dmesg it seems that the proper codec isn't getting loaded and I wonder if this could be the cause for this behavior. I'll appreciate any help I can get. Thanks. jello# uname -a FreeBSD jello.hwresnet.org 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 jello# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep pcm pcm0: <Intel 82801H High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xfebfc000-0xfebfffff irq 21 at device 27.0 on pci0 pcm0: [ITHREAD] pcm0: <HDA Codec: Sigmatel (Unknown)> pcm0: <HDA Driver Revision: 20071129_0050> jello# cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2007061600/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: <Intel 82801H High Definition Audio Controller> at memory 0xfebfc000 irq 21 kld snd_hda [20071129_0050] [MPSAFE] (1p:2v/1r:1v channels duplex default) jello# pciconf -lv | grep -B 4 audio jello# sysctl hw.snd hw.snd.latency_profile: 1 hw.snd.latency: 5 hw.snd.report_soft_formats: 1 hw.snd.compat_linux_mmap: 0 hw.snd.feeder_buffersize: 16384 hw.snd.feeder_rate_round: 25 hw.snd.feeder_rate_max: 2016000 hw.snd.feeder_rate_min: 1 hw.snd.verbose: 1 hw.snd.maxautovchans: 16 hw.snd.default_unit: 0 hw.snd.version: 2007061600/i386 hw.snd.default_auto: 0 jello# mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 33:33 Mixer pcm is currently set to 19:19 Mixer speaker is currently set to 18:18 Mixer line is currently set to 18:18 Mixer rec is currently set to 47:47 Recording source: mic
