I know for sure your audio chip's device/vendor id is 0x266e8086. This is a fix for someone with FreeBSD-6.2; even though the person suggests to grab the compiled modules, he also has the sources there. This person had the same issues with volume, and this fixed the problem. I hope this helps. -nawcom " :30:2: class=0x040100 card=0x099c103c chip=0x266e8086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801FB/FR/FW/FRW AC '97 Audio Controller' class = multimedia subclass = audio Ok. Lets make it quick and simple. Grab both (I repeat: BOTH) sound.ko and snd_ich.ko from http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/test/ . Let me guess. mixer "phout" and "ogain" control both \ headphone and speaker separately, while mixer "vol" seems useless. Prove me wrong. -- Ariff Abdullah FreeBSD " --------------------------------------------- WATANABE Kazuhiro wrote: > Hello. > > At Wed, 30 Jul 2008 19:50:50 +0800, > Rommel Martinez wrote: > >> I'm wondering why is it that no matter what I do, I can't seem to make >> my laptop emit sound lounder than a whisper.
