A few months ago, I decided I wanted to setup a USB microphone so I could have a voice chat with someone. I followed the instructions in webcamd's pkg-message, specifically to enable cuse and webcamd. After rebooting, I noticed there was a constant hissing/static in my headphones (they just have a regular headphone connector, they're not USB) whose volume didn't change even as I changed my system's volume. Things like music or other sounds could be heard along with the static, and their volume can be controlled. The microphone also wasn't working, either, though that's not what I worry about right now. So I disabled cuse and webcamd, undoing everything I did to enable them, and rebooted. But the static remained. And since then, I haven't found a way to get the constant static to stop. I haven't used any audio at all on FreeBSD since then, and sorely miss it. The static seems to start at the same time the login prompt appears on screen, after the dmesg -a type stuff. Does anyone have any ideas? What could enabling cuse or webcamd could have done that wouldn't have been undone by disabling them? I'd like to have working sound again so I can listen to music once more, and would be thankful if anyone could help me. Specific information, in case it helps: $ freebsd-version 12.0-RELEASE-p10 $ uname -a FreeBSD nyann.tanasinn.mochi 12.0-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p10 GENERIC amd64 I also use Lumina as my DE.
