Re: iMac Late 2009 audo is flat

How does it choose which to use, and can I specify which to use? since the kernal modules for snd_hda and snd_csa are both load, how can I specify which to use? I figure it must be some setting in sysctl or some config file somewhere, instead of having it make it's own choice, can I tell it what to ...

Re: iMac Late 2009 audo is flat

I further investigated, I poked at sysctl settings, and tried to load the snd_hda driver, but it didn't work. I am wondering if the snd_hda driver is being used. IN alsa mixer it lists the card as FreeBSD/OSS. Is that a driver or just the FreeBSD Sound framework? In my MacOS, it definitely lists the...

Re: iMac Late 2009 audo is flat

Thanks. That seems to correlate to the actions of both the aumix and the alsa-mixer. I can see the settings changing but the sound doesn't. As I discovered in the other link I posted to the Ubuntu forums, it seems as though the driver isn't playing to all the speakers. Does anyone know more about ma...

Re: iMac Late 2009 audo is flat

I found this https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2409016 Which seems to describe the issue I am having, but I installing alsa mixer didn't fix it. I notice the alsa mixer shows the sound card as this: Card: FreeBSD/OSS Chip: FreeBSD/OSS So, based on the ubuntu posting, it seems the current dri...

iMac Late 2009 audo is flat

Hi. I have loaded GhostBSD on my iMac (late 2009). I am running FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE GENERIC amd64 running MATE. Everything has been easy so far, but when I play music through youtube with either firefox or chromium, that sound is flat and shrill, as though someone has turned down...
