I'm wondering why is it that no matter what I do, I can't seem to make my laptop emit sound lounder than a whisper. The laptop is an ECS Elitegroup W330 (Arima W330-UCX) and this is the website of the laptop: http://www.arimacorp.com/ViewProduct.asp?View=145
I thought at first there was no sound coming out at all, so what I did was I plugged an external speaker to it and maxed out the volume via the volume knob and set my mixer settings all to 100, then I was able to hear sound from the speaker, but it's too weak to be of any good use. The following is my configuration: $ cat /boot/loader.conf | grep snd_ snd_ich_load="YES" $ kldstat | grep snd_ 3 1 0xc0d30000 6f88 snd_ich.ko $ kldstat | grep sound 4 2 0xc0d37000 4a5ac sound.ko $ cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep pcm pcm0: <Intel ICH6 (82801FB)> port 0x5000-0x50ff,0x48c0-0x48ff mem 0xb0040800-0xb00409ff,0xb0040400-0xb00404ff irq 20 at device 30.2 on pci0 pcm0: [ITHREAD] pcm0: <Avance Logic ALC250 AC97 Codec> $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2007061600/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: <Intel ICH6 (82801FB)> at io 0xb0040800, 0xb0040400 irq 20 bufsz 16384 kld snd_ich [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex default) $ mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100 Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100 Mixer speaker is currently set to 100:100 Mixer line is currently set to 100:100 Mixer mic is currently set to 100:100 Mixer cd is currently set to 100:100 Mixer rec is currently set to 100:100 Mixer igain is currently set to 100:100 Mixer ogain is currently set to 100:100 Mixer line1 is currently set to 100:100 Mixer phin is currently set to 100:100 Mixer phout is currently set to 100:100 Recording source: mic I tried audacious, xmms, and mpg123 but I still get the same behaviour. What's causing this? Can anybody give pointers why is this happening? Thanks. -- Rommel M.
