Acer Aspire AS5672 and sound

[Torfinn Ingolfsen]

I have an Acer Aspire AS5672WLMi laptop. It has lots of good stuff, and
among that an Intel HDA audio controller:
tingo at kg-home$ pciconf -lv | grep -B 3 multimedia
pcm0 at pci0:27:0: class=0x040300 card=0x00941025 chip=0x27d88086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = '82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio'
    class    = multimedia

It runs 6.1-stable:
tingo at kg-home$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-home.kg4.no 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #0: Sat Jul 15 19:29:16 CEST 2006     root at kg-home.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

(For full dmesg output of this machine, see the freebsd-mobile mailing list).
I have seen all the HDA-related activity on this list, so I decided to test my machine, and see if things would work or not.
I installed this one: http://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/hdac.tgz

This is what I get in /var/log/messages when I do 'kldload hdac':

'mixer' shows (I turned it up from 75:75):
tingo at kg-home$ mixer
Mixer vol      is currently set to  95:95
Recording source: 

Unfortunately, there is no sound from the speakers. At least, I can't hear anything. I haven't tested the headphone output yet.
