Hello,

I am trying to get sound working in FreeBSD. I read 9th chapter of FreeBSD handbook(https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/multimedia/). I have succesfully configured the sound card, it shows in dmesg | grep pcm and also in cat /dev/sndstat. however when I try to use beep command to test the speaker, it doesn’t work ( I can’t hear anything from the sound card).

    Did you put yourself in the group operator?

    no, but even when I did put my user into operator group it still doesn’t work.

    mixer command says the volume is 71%.

    I think something weird is going on since my sound card isn’t listed of the website but the kernel detects my sound card.

      Yes it’s possible, it can be a “too fresh hardware” situation for FreeBSD, what is your device?
