 #sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=0
 Works - thanks.  Now - to make this change stick I add it to
 /boot/loader.conf ?

As said in sound(4) manpage, that I already mentioned in previous mail, it's a 
sysctl and as such belongs in /etc/sysctl.conf.

Hi,

  After upgrade upgrade my system to 7.2-PRERELEASE, my sound card
  works perfectly.
 This is why my sound broke (I forgot to mention it was after an
 upgrade). cd ~/stable7/sys/dev/sound/pci/hda  svn update -r182969
 fixed my problem.

The sound unit may change between 7.1 and 7.2. You can try to change
the sysctl hw.snd.default_unit

If it still doesn't work put a verbose boot dmesg of snd_hda and pcm
somewhere (see the man page of snd_hda) and ask on the
freebsd-multimedia@ mailing list.

Regards

It seems that I got the same problem which's solved. Please search in the list.

There were some changes in snd_hda just after the 7.1-RELEASE. You can
try to update to a 7-STABLE. You can also take the files of snd_hda from
current or from stable (/usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/hda/*) and rebuild
the kernel module.

After upgrade upgrade my system to 7.2-PRERELEASE, my sound card works 
perfectly.

which will turn PCM and master volume to 100:100. For checking,
it's usually the most comfortable way to play some media file,
instead of a plain file into /dev/dsp.


plain binary will make plain noise ;) so it's good test



The play command from the port / package sox or mpg123 / madplay
for mp3 files work well, as does mplayer.

Have a look at where /dev/dsp points to, it should be the dsp0
device.

I don't have furtther experiences with the hda stuff, so these
would be my basic ideas.

From your diagnostics, the sound card seems to be detected okay,
as far as I see it.

Things worth checking are the mixer settings, such as:

% mixer pcm 100
% mixer vol 100

which will turn PCM and master volume to 100:100. For checking,
it's usually the most comfortable way to play some media file,
instead of a plain file into /dev/dsp.

Looking at your 2 analog and 1 digital output, the following from snd_hda4 man 
page probably applies to you:

 According to HDA and UAA specifications, depending on the number of HDA
 buses and codecs present in system, their audio capabilities and BIOS
 provided configuration, the snd_hda driver often provides several PCM
 audio devices.  For example, one device for main rear 7.1 output and
 inputs, one device for independent headset connectors at front and one
 device for SPDIF or HDMI audio input/output.  The assignment of audio
 inputs and outputs may be tuned with device.hints(5).  The driver's ver-
 bose boot messages provide a lot of information about the operation of
 the driver and present audio setup.

 The default audio device may be tuned by setting the hw.snd.default_unit
 sysctl, as described in sound(4), or explicitly specified in application
 settings.
