Hi, I recently installed the PC-BSD 8.0 beta upgrade, and in the process, my audio output disappeared. It worked well on PC-BSD 7.1, and also does so when the machine is booted from a Fedora 11 live CD, so it's not hardware. I've been working with Kris on the PC-BSD team on testing this and that, but he now feels we need to bring this issue up to the FreeBSD driver team. KDE Info Center gives the following information: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: <Intel ICH4 (82801DB)> at io 0xfebff800, 0xfebff400 irq 17 bufsz 16384 kld snd_ich [MPSAFE] (1p:4v/ir/4v channels duplex default) The sound support for loader.conf looks like this: # Load sound-support sound_load="YES" snd_uaudio_load="YES" The sound support for rc.conf looks like this: # Enable sound-support snddetect_enable="YES" mixer_enable="YES" If I try to play an mp3 file with mplayer from a terminal, I get this: Music/Norwegian_Wood.mp3 MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz (Family: 15, Model: 2, Stepping: 9) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection.

State Changed From-To: open->feedback To submitter: firstly, what type of sound card are you using? The output of the KDE application suggests that you are using the onboard ICH4 sound card, however the fact you have "snd_uaudio_load" in loader.conf suggests that you may be using a USB audio device? Can you give the output of the folliwing commands in a terminal please: ls -l /dev/pcm* cat /dev/sndstat dmesg |grep pcm Thanks!
