Hi,

I have FreeBSD 5.4 installed on a laptop running KDE - I've managed to
get the audio working but the volume is very low and I'm not able to
increase it at all .I'm using the driver below  ( snd_ich ) :


root@jish# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <SiS 7012> at io 0x1400, 0x1c80 irq 18 bufsz 16384  (1p/1r/4v
channels duplex default)

pcm0: <SiS 7012> port 0x1c80-0x1cff,0x1400-0x14ff irq 18 at device 2.7
on pci0
pcm0: <Unknown AC97 Codec (id = 0x414c4770)>


Any ideas on what the problem could be and how I can fix it ?

Jimmy.
