Empty 3.5mm jack female with normal sound, but no sound with an plugged in headphoneAnd no bars could be shown as told by my screenshot, just the numeral variables are available
But the most weird is, after some reboots it revives, but more often after many reboots it still dies

Hmm... 232 views and no answers.

My reaction is - what do you expect? BSD it about as secure as they come as standard. On top of that, you've adopted some hardened version. I've done Hardened LFS back in the day. The first thing to go out the window is eye candy.

Hardened systems are better at resisting when hackers are actively trying to penetrate your systems, and are really for servers, which are out there 24/7, as sitting ducks. They don't need sound.

Horses for courses: If you want a system to be a firewall, use hardened bsd, and don't fit a soundcard. If you want eye candy, use linux behind your hardened bsd. All this eye candy is bad news security wise.
