From: Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf@rocketmail.com> Did you test it without pulseaudio? I'm a FreeBSD novice, but experienced with audio on Linux and pulseaudio is known to cause trouble like this. _______________________________________________ I'm sorry I'm new to FreeBSD desktop but how do I disable pulseaudio? I tried the following: 1. tried to pkg_delete pulseaudio but it said a few packaged depends on it. Then I went through each of these packages, did "make config" to make sure any pulseaudio option is unchecked, then make; make deinstall; make reinstall it. These packages include: gnome2 gnome-appletes gnome-control-center gnome-media gnome-session gnome-settings-daemon deskbar-applet etc pulseaudio still can't be deleted after that. I rebooted anyway but didn't notice any difference regarding the problem. By the way, from the very beginning up to now, the audio largely functions all the time, for example, I can watch some youtube videos (non-flash ones) with perfect sound, and I can control its volume by the volume control under the youtube video. I just can't control volume using the hardware buttons and the controls offered by the gnome desktop utilities. 2. I tried to replace alsa with oss, but now alsa is built into the kernel so when trying to load oss it says: kernel: osscore: Open Sound System conflicts with FreeBSD driver kernel: osscore: Please remove sound(4) from kernel or unload it Someone recommended recompling kernel in order to use oss, but how do you deal with security update? Right now I only put "freebsd-update fetch install" in cron job. I'm not sure how to do that with custom kernel.

Theoretically it's possible to disable pulseaudio, but this doesn't work for all versions as expected. On Linux it's enough to build a dummy package, that fakes to provide PA, this doesn't cause issues, as long as libpulse(audio) or what ever it's named, is installed. However, on Linux (by upstream) only gnome-settings-daemon has the hard dependency to PA. It might be different for FreeBSD, I'm a newbie for BSD myself. I'm using Xfce4, but have GNOME installed too, since there were obscure dependencies, seemingly not from upstream, but for FreeBSD. I didn't experienced this on Linux. I don't have PA installed. $ pkg_info | grep pulseaudio $ pkg_info | grep gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon-2.32.1_4 GNOME 2 settings daemon I suspect you need to rebuild all the listed dependencies. I only can speak for Linux (and upstream), theoretically and on Linux in reality you only need to rebuild gnome-settings-daemon, or to fake that the dependency is fulfilled. Regards, Ralf
