Just wondering what changed with the sound on BSD? My system way back in 
the 4.x days sounded not too bad... good bass, etc.

After dropping my audio cards for on board audio (intel hda) I noticed 
the sound was really BAD... tin can, bad separation, no bass at all.

Some time this past week, my audio went from sounding like crap to 
absolutely phenomenal!!! My sub works again, audio is coming out of the 
center channel, left and right speakers are not putting out ALL of the 
sound.

Is it just me? Did I miss a notice about upgrades to the sound drivers? 
Whatever it is... AMAZING!!!
