Hello,

I have a Compaq Presario 700 (actually, a 703JP), running FreeBSD
4.4-RELEASE. I built the kernel with "device pcm", and the sound card is
detected when the system boots:

pcm0: <VIA VT82C686A> port 0x1850-0x1853,0x1854-0x1857,0x1000-0x10ff irq
5 at device 7.5 on pci0

/dev/sndstat shows this:

cosmos:~# cat /dev/sndstat 
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Feb 16 2002 11:50:00
Installed devices:
pcm0: <VIA VT82C686A> at io 0x1000 irq 5 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex)

And I set the mixer to the following values:

cosmos:~# 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   0:0
Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer cd       is currently set to 100:100
Mixer rec      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer line1    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phin     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phout    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer video    is currently set to 100:100
Mixer monitor  is currently set to 100:100

My problem is that I cannot hear any sound. I run xmms on an MP3 file,
and the spectrum analyzer starts moving, but no sound gets out of the
speakers. Not even when I use cdcontrol to play audio CDs. Sound works
correctly on Windows XP in another partition on the same machine.

Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
