I know this has been discussed widely on this list and many others
around the globe but well, I got a TV capture card a couple of days
ago, compiled the kernel and configured according to the FreeBSD
handbook TV capture card section. Upon boot up the card and drivers
all seem to  work in harmony and all so I went ahead and installed
FXTV since it was the simplest application I found to test it out, I
really don't need great GUI so FXTV works fine, anyway I have great
video but absolutely NO AUDIO, here's what I've tried:

* Tried plugging in headphones into the audio out jack in the TV card - no go
* Tried plugging in headphones into the audio out jack in the sound card - no go
* Tried setting the volumes on the "mixer" to 100:100 and also the
rest (i.e. line, line1 etc..) - no go
* Tried using fxtv with the different mixer channels and no go either
* Also tried using a diff sound device and well, that didn't work

So you see guys, I've tried quite a bit, I've googled the world and
over and still nothing, has any one got a good solution for this
issue? ** ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING WILL BE APPRECIATED **

Here is my dmesg output regarding the TV card:
