Скачать или смотреть FreeBSD 13 Tips #1 Audio Woes, Change Default To Yes, Skeared Of DD GUI Image writer? My messages?

When using FreeBSD for recording it requires more than pulseaudio is able to provide. These are the steps I took to make my audio both input & output levels correct for me. You may have to play around with the actual levels to meet your needs.

****** audio & snd ******
To list audio card: cat /dev/sndstat
To find which device is the default:
sudo sysctl hw.snd.default_unit
To change default:
sudo sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=(?) (your choice here)
To load at boot edit: sudo ee /etc/sysctl.conf
Add this line: hw.snd.default_unit=3 saved & exit

Enable the mixer startup script
sudo ee /etc/rc.conf add: mixer_enable="YES"
save & exit

*******If Using a USB microphone--Plug it in before booting*************

To see the volume levels. run: mixer

To set mixer level: sudo mixer -f /dev/mixer 75

To set mic levels: sudo mixer -f /dev/mixer mic 75
sudo mixer -f /dev/mixer3 mic 75
sudo mixer -f /dev/mixer4 mic 75
sudo mixer -f /dev/mixer pcm 75:75

To see messages from a previous install:
pkg info --pkg message [pkg name]


Thanks for watching!
Still Archin' on with FBSD at my side..
