Thank you for your kind responses. Though I don't understand much what you said, I shall give you further info. > pcm1 device is the HDMI audio output on your graphics card. My only > suggestion here is to play with the sysctl hw.snd.default_unit: # tail -n 1 /etc/sysctl.conf hw.snd.default_unit=1 (I left /boot/loader.conf untouched.) # shutdown -r now after reboot # kldload snd_driver # sysctl -d hw.snd.default_unit hw.snd.default_unit: default sound device # sysctl hw.snd.default_unit hw.snd.default_unit: 0 The speakers are still quiet. I wonder why it is still 0, even if /etc/sysctl.conf set it to 1. > What programs are you using to test the sound output? Just repeat backspaces at the blank command prompt. guacl@bsdhost:~% <BS><BS><BS>... If sound driver is functioning, the speakers should echo. Note that the internal speaker (inside the case) does echo, for sure. Thank you. -- Gua Chung Lim Please help donate to Japan. -- for earthquake, tsunami and nuclear radiation reliefs (2011)
