Dear Sir, I would like to apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have just downloaded and tried the latest ESS driver from your Web site (http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/~sanpei/), as well as upgraded from 2.2.8 to 3.1-stable; yet the problem persists. When I run "mixer", as you specified below, it shows the default settings (similar to the ones below); when I do "mixer vol 100", the volume goes up for half a second, then starts fading away, while the mixer still shows vol 100. It is possible to keep the volume level up by running the mixer program every second or so. Attached below are my kernel config file and the output of dmesg and pnpinfo. Any advice will be much appreciated.

I'm one maintainer of ESS driver. Thank you for testing latest ESS driver from http://www.jp.FreeBSD.ORG/~sanpei/ I use mpg123 for mp3 player, but never have such problem. I guess that We tested only non PnP card because We tested with NOTE-PC, not tested with PnP Sound card. Please check PnP configuration or if you can use non-PnP mode, please test it. Or, please check volume level by mixer command. And please report how it change mixer level when you play back with mpg123. % mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 90:90 Mixer synth is currently set to 0:0 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 0:0 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 0:0 Thank you.
