AI Overview
Discord sound issues in GhostBSD
often stem from unmuted hardware channels, incorrect OSS/PulseAudio settings, or application-level configuration. Common fixes include running mixertui to unmute, setting defaults via sysctl, checking input/output in Discord settings, or switching to the "legacy" audio subsystem.
Here are specific troubleshooting steps for GhostBSD/FreeBSD:
- Unmute Channels: Open terminal and run
mixertui to ensure all channels (especially vol, pcm, mic) are unmuted and volumes are up.
- Check Audio Devices: Run
cat /dev/sndstat in the terminal to verify that your sound card is detected and to identify the correct PCM device.
- Set Default Device: Use
sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=n (replacing n with the number of your preferred device from sndstat) to set the default audio output.
- Discord Settings:
- Navigate to User Settings > Voice & Video.
- Set Input/Output devices explicitly (rather than "Default").
- Toggle Audio Subsystem to "Legacy".
- Disable Noise Suppression (Krisp) to test.
- Alternative: If using the web browser version, ensure the browser has permission to access the audio system.
- Hardware Check: If using USB headphones, ensure they are plugged in before opening Discord.
