Hello!

I have a problem with having no sound at all on my notebook with atiixp
sound and hardware volume controller. It seems that this controller
should be activated somehow at boot time. My notebook specs as follows:

uname -a:

FreeBSD swamp.lnet 6.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p4 #3: Sat Feb  4
14:39:37
 UTC 2006     root at swamp.lnet:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SWAMP  i386

pciconf -vl

pcm0 at pci0:20:5: class=0x040100 card=0x2043161f chip=0x43701002 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = audio

dmesg | grep pcm:

pcm0: <Analog Devices AD1981B AC97 Codec>

sysctl hw.snd:

btw, pre-installed altlinux played sounds in KDE...
