I am having problems with getting any volume out of my VIA sound card.

I just purchased a new system with motherboard:

http://www.ecsusa.com/products/p4vmm2.html

And installed FreeBSD 5.0 on it...

If I play any music files on it, the volume is very low.  (I can pick the
speakers up hold them to my ears, I hear the music but it is very faint).
The speakers are Labtec Spin-55 (el-cheapo), with the amplifier volume
cranked.  I haven't tried any other OSes on the system yet...  I have
tried the speakers on my SunRay and they work fine there, so I don't
believe that they are a problem...

bash-2.05b$ mixer
Mixer vol      is currently set to  99:99
Mixer pcm      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer speaker  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer line     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer cd       is currently set to   0:0
Mixer rec      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer line1    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phin     is currently set to   0:0

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!
