Recently I updated my Micron Millenia TransPort laptop from FreeBSD-3.3 to 4.2. Before the upgrade I could use the audio and the built-in mike with rat (/usr/ports/mbone/rat, ver-4.2.9). After the upgrade however, I can receive audio, but I cannot use the mike (e.g. when I click the right mouse button to transmit, the rat mike volume control always moves itself to 75%, and there is just noise on the other side). No help even with the lastest rat-4.2.12, and no success with vat as well. I went through the FreeBSD mail archive and http://www.freebsddiary.org/sound.html, but I coudn't find an answer. I was wondering if this is because of a (known?) problem with the new FreeBSD audio device driver, or because I have misconfigured or missed something. My guess is that there is something wrong with the duplex-mode appearance of the card, because rat requres the card to work in duplex mode. Below is the relevant technical information.
