FreeBSD 7.2, snd_hda and Asus P5KPL-AM SE - sound loudness is too low

Sat Jun 13 13:25:05 UTC 2009

Hello, everybody!

I have the motherboard Asus P5KPL-AM SE and FreeBSD-7.2 release.

The sound card is recognized as:

pcm0: <HDA Realtek ALC662 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0
pcm1: <HDA Realtek ALC662 PCM #1 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0

The mixer options are:

Mixer vol      is currently set to  90:90
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  90:90
Mixer line     is currently set to  90:90
Mixer mic      is currently set to  90:90
Mixer mix      is currently set to  90:90
Mixer rec      is currently set to  90:90
Mixer ogain    is currently set to  90:90
Recording source: mic

However the sound loudness is too low. I tried to plug the headphones to the
rear jack as well as to the front jack - but the sound is too low. Then I
unplugged the front connectors from the motherboard and plugged the headphones
to the rear jack - and still the sound loudness is low.

To check the loudness level I tried to play the same MP3 file with
- musicpd
- mpg123

The complete list of the modules is:
