Re: Video and Sound on FreeBSD 15/Stable

Sound is now working.  I was focused on testing the sound in Settings/Sound
and clicking on the left and right speaker.  This test never worked, and
still does not work.  Yet, when I do a BEEP test via command line, sound
works.  When I access multimedia content on a browser, sound works.  It
makes no sense to me, but at least the sound works (for the most part)
LOL.  Thank you for your help.
