Hello! I installed the massive sound patches from http://staff.mybsd.org.my/skywizard/FreeBSD/sound/ on a laptop running an up-to-date 5.4-stable: tingo@kg-jobbpc3$ uname -a FreeBSD kg-jobbpc3.kg4.no 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #3: Thu Aug 25 23:20:08 CEST 2005 root@kg-jobbpc3.kg4.no:/storage/usr/obj/storage/usr/src/sys/T41_NOUHID i386 The patches lets FreeBSD detect all the usb audio devices that I have; this is good. However, there seems to be some problems with the volume controls... it seems like the volume is ... sort of relative now, not absolute. And when I adjust volume, equalizer settings etc, it seems lie the volume gets ... well, lost, and gets louder all the time, until finally I have to shut down xmms to save my speakers / headphones. The last device tested was a set of USB speakers from Jazz Speakers (model no. J1116U), and theyu have the same problem. Here are the lines from /var/loig/messages showing how the speakers are detected: Aug 28 23:06:53 kg-jobbpc3 kernel: ugen0: C-Media INC. USB Audio, rev 1.10/0.10, addr 2 Aug 28 23:08:10 kg-jobbpc3 kernel: ugen0: at uhub1 port 2 (addr 2) disconnected Aug 28 23:08:10 kg-jobbpc3 kernel: ugen0: detached Aug 28 23:08:17 kg-jobbpc3 kernel: uaudio0: C-Media INC.

I'm sorry that my little "problem report" isn't more accurate, but so far I'm just seeing the symptoms, and don't know where to start looking for the problems yet. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
