soundbraid is a nice package, and it will get its way in HyperbolaBSD.

Thank you very much for your answer. Yes, I have two daemons running, I checked. And the sound works. I just wanted to understand how many packages I need to install for ALSA to work.

doas rc-status default

alsasound and sndiod running

As for VolumeIcon, thanks for the recommendation, I previously installed soundbraid https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/ext … undbraid/, it helped me when I had no sound in the browser.

You just need alsa-sndio when you want to run alsa through sndiod, but in general I recommend to leave that package outside. The point being is that you have two sound-systems throughout the Linux-kernel using alsa and sndiod is running besides also. Removing alsa-sndio gives you the opportunity to run applications using ALSA with ALSA and the rest without issues with sndio.

But you need first to verify that alsasound is running as daemon. Additional to use a mixer like volumeicon for ALSA. Making your sound working first with ALSA and when this works you can verify also sndio. But to underline: As sndio is most a BSD-descendant software Linux is not supporting all parts very well with any graphical interface or better said: It could and would, if people would be interested.

Hi all . I wanted to clarify about the sound settings. What packages do I need to install on the system so that I can hear sound in the browser and be able to listen to music through the audio player and video player.

I need to download: alsa-tools alsa-util and alsa-sndio

When I enter in the terminal:

$ amixer set Master 5%+

through alsamixer I see that the sound has increased when I enter the command

$ sndioctl output.level=+0.10

This does not work ??
