Very very weak sound from the speaker

[nawcom]

Did you compile it from the source files there or try to use the 
precompiled ones? I wouldn't be surprised if the precompiled ones would 
crash it since it was for 6.2 - my guess is you are using a 7-release; 
sorry if you misinterpreted what I was directing you towards. I read up 
on it and this fix should be included in 7-CURRENT. Hopefully Watanabe's 
patch he gave you will do the trick for your specific laptop model.
