No sound on Dell Inspiron

[mururoa]

Hello,

Just installed GhostBSD a few days ago. The network is kinky and I get no sound

Here are the facts :

Code: Select all

root@GhostBSD:~ # kldstat -v | grep snd
		290 hdac/snd_hda
		289 pci/snd_hda
		288 hdaa/snd_hda_pcm
		287 hdacc/snd_hda
		286 pci/snd_via8233
		285 pci/snd_ich
		284 pci/snd_es137x
		283 emu10kx/snd_emu10kx_midi
		282 emu10kx/snd_emu10kx_pcm
		281 pci/snd_emu10kx
		280 csa/snd_csapcm
		279 pci/snd_csa
		278 pci/snd_cmi

root@GhostBSD:~ # cat /dev/sndstat
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Realtek ALC225 (Analog)> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <Intel Kaby Lake (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
No devices installed from userspace.

root@GhostBSD:~ # sysctl hw.snd.default_unit
hw.snd.default_unit: 0

I tried sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=1 with no more luck
The computer is a Dell Inspiron Laptop and sound use to work very well on other OS.

Maybe someone can help ?

Can you give me the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep "Realtek"

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep pcm

Code: Select all

mixer

This sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=1 will change your sonde to the HDMI cable.

Did you try to plug a headset into your laptop?

Hello,

Thanks for your help.

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep "Realtek"
hdacc0: <Realtek ALC225 HDA CODEC> at cad 0 on hdac0
hdaa0: <Realtek ALC225 Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc0

dmesg | grep pcm
pcm0: <Realtek ALC225 (Analog)> at nid 33 and 18 on hdaa0
pcm1: <Intel Kaby Lake (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 3 on hdaa1

And I followed your suggestion to plug an headset and to my great astonishment there was a normal sound with the headset. That puzzle me.

We got that one time in the telegram group, that is why I ask. I do not recall if we find the problem, but I can dig and find out.

Hi there,
Dont mind digging, I gave a try to a linux distro and all was working out of the box included Wifi AC so I give up for GhostBSD this time.
I even found a 'root on zfs' howto but did not try yet.
I think I will retry GHostBSD once wifi AC/AX will be well supported but for now I go with linux MX.
