Hi !

Problem is that if I set vchans to zero, sound stops working altogether under 
KDE. I have some weird mother board with integrated sound card and it doesn't 
work that good under FreeBSD.

It's really hard to determine which group to send to. Since I thought this was 
software (driver) problem, I decided to post here. 

BTW I resolved the problem now. It was problem with hardware. Someone has been 
playing with my speakers in my room, and it was just that, the bass setting 
was set to 0... It works much better now. But I will probably try to applt 
that vchan patch someone posted link for.

Thanks,
Andy
