I have a Lenovo Ideapad 14'' 100S IBR-14'' Intel Celeron CPU N3060 @ 1.60GHz, 32GB SSD, 4GB RAM running FreeBSD 12.0.
I am trying to setup sound on it. I set it up in /boot/loader.conf
as:
# load sound driver
snd_hda="YES"
# load mixer
mixer_enable="YES"
sound_load="YES"
However, when trying to playing sound both in youtube or in the command line, I get this error, either when trying to use the Speaker or the Headphones channel:
pcm0: chn_write(): pcm0:virtual:dsp0.vp0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead
or
pcm1: chn_write(): pcm1:virtual:dsp1.vp0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead
The mixer seems to be ok:
# mixer
Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100
Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100
To see the available outputs:
$ cat /dev/sndstat
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Realtek ALC269 (Right Analog)> (play/rec)
pcm1: <Realtek ALC269 (Internal Analog)> (play/rec) default
pcm2: <Intel (0x2883) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
No devices installed from userspace.
What to do?

To get the sound working, according to a similar post in the FreeBSD forums, you have to do:
After this change, the sound started working while using the headphone jack (Right Analog).
To output sound from the internal speakers (Internal Analog), I had to do:
To have these configurations at boot time, add them to
/etc/sysctl.conf
