I've noticed that some machines seem to automatically switch, ie when I plug in headphones to the headphone jack or a mic into a microphone jack it "just works". But other machines don't work automatically and I have to set the device manually as above. A simple way, you can try setting each device to see which one works. :) # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64) Installed devices: pcm0: <ATI R6xx (HDMI)> (play) pcm1: <IDT 92HD81B1X (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec) default pcm2: <IDT 92HD81B1X (Analog Mic)> (rec) # mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 90:90 Mixer pcm is currently set to 85:85 Mixer speaker is currently set to 100:100 Mixer mic is currently set to 67:67 Mixer mix is currently set to 1:1 Mixer rec is currently set to 1:1 Mixer ogain is currently set to 100:100 Recording source: mic Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA
