Have you checked your mixer settings? The command "mixer" provided by the OS can do this. Example: % mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 0:0 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 0:0 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer igain is currently set to 0:0 Mixer monitor is currently set to 0:0 Recording source: mic If the system exposes more than one mixer to the OS, the -f flag can be used to query and set the various mixers. See "man mixer" for details. > I tested the speaker system itself by booting a live linux and it worked > out of the box, but i would like to stick with FreeBSD. Maybe Linux defaults to a different audio unit? Modern hardware often does have more than one "sound card" (similar to mixers). The sysctl "hw.snd.default_unit" can control which unit will be used. > I included my /etc/rc.conf and my /boot/loader.conf . Allow me to quote the relevant entries: [rc.conf text/plain (911B)] pulseaudio_enable="YES" #oss_enable="YES" Do you have the playback problem from inside a IDE, or does the problem also appear when you test audio "on bare metal"? How do you test audio? [loader.conf text/plain (1.3KB)] #snd_hda_load="YES" #snd_driver_load="YES" It's okay to comment those entries because the GENERIC kernel (which you are using as per "uname -a") does already include the sound driver. > If you have any ideas what i can try or which configs you need, i will > try to answer ASAP. Always check the output of the following commands: % dmesg | grep ^pcm % cat /dev/sndstat Verify that the correct sound driver has successfully been loaded. Also have a look at the handbook section about sound: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/sound-setup.html -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
