I am reminded of Thu, Jun 23, 2005 at 03:20:58PM -0400 when Ryan R. said: > I'm running 6-CURRENT/amd64 dated Wed Jun 22 11:41:19 PDT 2005, using a > Soundblaster Live! sound card.

I wonder if it might give other useful information. # adjust the master volume a couple times mixer 75 mixer 100 # adjust the pcm volume a couple times mixer pcm 100 mixer pcm 75 -- Evan Dower Software Development Engineer Amazon.com, Inc.
