[Solved] No USB Sound 2.1 kit

Post by vandykmarsu »

Hello GhostBSD User's

I am currently having a problem running my 2.1 kit on GhostBSD 19.10.

I went through FreeBSD forums and tutorials with no results.

I'll come back to you if you can enlighten me please.

I share here a find to use a 2.1 speaker kit USB plugged.

Adding USB Driver.


Add driver snd_uaudio to rc.conf:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/rc.conf
Paste:

Code: Select all

snd_uaudio="YES"

Automating boot:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /boot/loader.conf
Paste:

Code: Select all

snd_uaudio_load="YES"
Loading the driver:

Code: Select all

kldload snd_driver

Output configuration.


How to know his output device:

Code: Select all

cat /dev/sndstat
We configure a file in devd:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/devd/usb_hp.conf
Paste the lines and configure pcm unit/number with the output:

Code: Select all

# /etc/devd/usb_hp.conf
attach 100 {
  device-name "pcm?";
  action "sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=?";
};

detach 100 {
  device-name "pcm?";
  action "sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=0";
};
Paste this line in sysctl with the right pcm:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
Then paste:

Code: Select all

hw.snd.default_unit=?

Reboot, after boot 2.1 Kit are singing well

I followed these instructions to geta USB audio adapter working so I could use headphones on my Thinkpad T480s laptop. As a novice, I wasn't sure where this was supposed to be pasted:
Loading the driver:
CODE: SELECT ALL

kldload snd_driver
I guessed it was part of what was to be added here:
sudo nano /boot/loader.conf
and that turned out to be correct.

Also, I think this may have a typo?
# /etc/devd/usb_hp.conf
attach 100 {
device-name "pcm?";
action "sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=?";
};

detach 100 {
device-name "pcm?";
action "sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=0";
};
Should that last line "sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=0" be "sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=?" with a question mark instead of a zero? My USB audio adapter is pcm3, so I changed all the question marks to 3's, and I used "sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=3" and that seems to have worked.
