Hello, I've read through a zillion posts in the FreeBSD forums and various other Google sources about getting audio to work in Gnome on FreeBSD. Most of the posts say something like "pulseaudio sucks, don't use it", and that's fine, but what do I replace it with? Since I've removed pulseaudio from all my installed ports, I now have no audio control panel under "System", "Preferences", and I have no volume control slider near the clock. Audio is working in that I can play a video in Firefox and hear the audio, but it's currently coming out the wrong sound card (for whatever reason, Dell's audio card shows up twice: once for the internal speaker and once for the external speaker/headphone jacks). So I can't tell Gnome to push the audio out /dev/dsp1 now, rather than /dev/dsp0. Basically, how do I control how applications put sound out to my system when pulseaudio is not installed? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tim Gustafson tjg@soe.ucsc.edu Baskin School of Engineering 831-459-5354 UC Santa Cruz Baskin Engineering 317B -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
