Hi, I just installed Freebsd 9.1 with gnome on a dell E6430s, the sound card is IDT High Definition Audio. It is able to play sound and record sound, as the Sound Recorder works fine. However the OS has no way to control the sound. Whenever I click System -> Preferences -> Sound, it will wait 5 seconds and pop up a very small window saying "Waiting for sound system to respond". If I click Volume Control in the Volume Applet, it will do the same thing. The volume slider and the Mute button in Volume Control don't work. Also the hardware buttons to control volume and mute don't work. Can you advise me what to do? The following are relevant info as I found other people have provided when debugging sound issues. Thanks. $ kldstat -v|grep snd 270 hdac/snd_hda 269 pci/snd_hda 268 hdacc/snd_hda 267 hdaa/snd_hda_pcm 266 pci/snd_via8233 265 pci/snd_ich 264 pci/snd_es137x 263 emu10kx/snd_emu10kx_midi 262 emu10kx/snd_emu10kx_pcm 261 pci/snd_emu10kx 260 csa/snd_csapcm 259 pci/snd_csa 258 pci/snd_cmi /boot/loader.conf now contains no entry relating to sound, since now alsa sound modules are built into the kernel so there is no way to load them again (or unload them) any more. sound entries in /etc/rc.conf: snddetect_enable="YES" mixer_enable="YES" sound_enable="YES" snd_hda_load="YES" snd_uaudio_load="YES" $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64) Installed devices: pcm0: <IDT 92HD93BXX (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec) default pcm1: <IDT 92HD93BXX (Analog)> (play/rec) pcm2: <Intel Panther Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play) pcm3: <Intel Panther Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play) pcm4: <Intel Panther Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play) $ mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 90:90 Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100 Mixer speaker is currently set to 100:100 Mixer line is currently set to 100:100 Mixer mic is currently set to 67:67 Mixer mix is currently set to 35:35 Mixer rec is currently set to 35:35 Mixer ogain is currently set to 100:100 Recording source: mix entries in dmesg: hdacc0: <IDT 92HD93BXX HDA CODEC> at cad 0 on hdac0 hdaa0: <IDT 92HD93BXX Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc0 pcm0: <IDT 92HD93BXX (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> at nid 13,11 and 10,15 on hdaa0 pcm1: <IDT 92HD93BXX (Analog)> at nid 14 and 17 on hdaa0 hdacc1: <Intel Panther Point HDA CODEC> at cad 3 on hdac0 hdaa1: <Intel Panther Point Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc1 pcm2: <Intel Panther Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 5 on hdaa1 pcm3: <Intel Panther Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 6 on hdaa1 pcm4: <Intel Panther Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 7 on hdaa1 From owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jan 23 09:11:02 2013 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG> Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.FreeBSD.org [8.8.178.115]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 21C6C6F9 for <freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org>;

I'm a FreeBSD novice, but experienced with audio on Linux and pulseaudio is known to cause trouble like this.
