Anyway, the volume control in XMMS seems to do nothing at all from about the 5% mark to the 100% mark, music plays at the same volume no matter where the slider is in this range. between 0% and 5%, the music fades from silent to full volume. I have never experienced this phenomenon, and am wondering if I can adjust some non-xmms mixer setting to get the expected behavior, or possibly adjust xmms somehow. I don't even know where to start really. pcm0@pci0:31:5: class=0x040100 card=0x72801462 chip=0x24d58086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller' class = multimedia subclass = audio FreeBSD wkstn.homenet.mine 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Thu Feb 26 02:00:59 EST 2004 root@wkstn.homenet.mine:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 if any more information is necessary just let me know and i'll do what i can to provide it... any suggestions welcome, of course.
