Questions:

1. What are your computer/motherboard brand and model?

2. What is your os version (run "uname -r")?

2. What does "pciconf -lv" says about your audio device? I once fixed
the driver because on my PC the output was going to the speaker, not
to "line out". You may have a similar problem.

Instructions:

1. Boot with either the GENERIC kernel or a custom kernel without any
sound driver.

2. Set the sound debugging messages knob:

     sysctl hw.snd.verbose=4

3. Load the driver:

     kldload snd_hda

4. Get the driver debugging messages:

     sed -n 's/.* pcm0: //p' /var/log/messages > hda_log.txt

Send a message to this list with the contents of hda_log.txt.

because you lack sufficient imagination.
