>Description:
Hi, I recently installed the PC-BSD 8.0 beta upgrade, and in the process, my 
audio output disappeared. It worked well on PC-BSD 7.1, and also does so when 
the machine is booted from a Fedora 11 live CD, so it's not hardware. I've 
been working with Kris on the PC-BSD team on testing this and that, but he now 
feels we need to bring this issue up to the FreeBSD driver team. 

KDE Info Center gives the following information:

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Intel ICH4 (82801DB)> at io 0xfebff800, 0xfebff400 irq 17 bufsz 16384 
kld snd_ich [MPSAFE] (1p:4v/ir/4v channels duplex default)

The sound support for loader.conf looks like this:

# Load sound-support
sound_load="YES"
snd_uaudio_load="YES"


The sound support for rc.conf looks like this:

# Enable sound-support
snddetect_enable="YES"
mixer_enable="YES"

If I try to play an mp3 file with mplayer from a terminal, I get this:

Music/Norwegian_Wood.mp3

but absolutely no sound comes out of the speakers. I'm happy to help with this one if I can, and thanks in advance.
