I currently have GhostBSD 26.1-R15.0p8 with a FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p8 kernel.
But about a year ago, I'm not sure exactly, I also had GhostBSD, and every day I found the audio was very low.
The solution was to use the terminal.
To prevent the overall volume from being too low, enter the following in the terminal:
mixer
Then check if pcm = 0.46:0.46 pbk This means the volume is at 46%.
Therefore, enter: mixer pcm=100%
Now it appears like this:
pcm3:mixer: <Realtek ALC897 (Rear Analog)> on hdaa1 (play/rec) (default)
vol = 1.00:1.00 pbk
pcm = 1.00:1.00 pbk
speaker = 1.00:1.00 rec src
line = 0.01:0.01 rec
mic = 0.00:0.00 rec src
mix = 0.74:0.74 rec
rec = 0.37:0.37 pbk
igain = 0.00:0.00 pbk
ogain = 1.00:1.00 pbk
