Hi,

My new laptop has a integrated soundcard in the VIA PN133.

But I can only get a very very hard to hear sound out of it with
FreeBSD CURRENT, while WinME works perfectly :(

From some programs I am not able to play at all, from others like
xmms I hear a very very quiet sound, and I have turned on Mixer
pcm to 100 %. It behaves like the Mixer would be on 5%.

# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <VIA VT82C686A> at io 0x1400 irq 5 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default)

# mixer
Mixer vol      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer pcm      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer speaker  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer line     is currently set to 100:100
Mixer mic      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer cd       is currently set to 100:100
Mixer rec      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer line1    is currently set to 100:100
Mixer phin     is currently set to 100:100
Mixer phout    is currently set to 100:100
Mixer video    is currently set to 100:100
Mixer monitor  is currently set to 100:100

# play /usr/local/share/sounds/pop.wav
play: /dev/dsp: Invalid argument

I suspect some registers are not set with this card correctly.
