Subject:   No audio until a volume change under 4.0

Speaking of weird audio problems under 4.0 ...

With 4.0-S on the Sony 505TR when I reboot I get no standard sound, no
beeps, until I change the volume setting with the bios Fn-F4
setting. It then works fine through suspends, etc.

cat foo > /dev/audio works ok, echotc -s bl (to get a BEL character)
does nothing.

Bios sound mute is _not_ on, the starting volume is mid way. I can
change the volume down slightly, and magically beep/bells start working.

If I disable pcm/sbc0 beeps work (but I get no real audio, of course).

I'm using;
  device          pcm
  device          sbc0    at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15

  FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Apr 19 2000 00:53:47
  Installed devices:
  pcm0: <SB DSP 3.01 (ESS mode)> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 (1p/1r channels)

Something not getting initialised properly in newpcm/4.0 that did in
pcm/3.4 ?  Weirdness.


On the subject of audio weirdness, xmms with the equaliser turned on
produces cracking noise ... works fine with the eq. turned off. I have
some vauge recollection of someone already mentioning this.
