This is because the only supported mixer devices are vol, pcm and line. But the driver shows other values too. If you try to change one of the other values (which is done at startup), you get this error message: $ mixer cd 100 Setting the mixer cd from 0:0 to 100:100. mixer: WRITE_MIXER: Device not configured I've seen a number of other problems too. I will report them later in detail when I have time to test properly. - vchans don't work for me. - 24 bit playback not supported (only 16/32 bit) - after kld(un)loading some times, the card fails to be probed until reboot Having a unified driver first is probably more important.
