hear no sound if acpi=on
Hello all, I have FreeBSD-7.1-RELEASE on my Laptop (compaq presario cq40-401 au). In formation of my devices can be found at * http://viettug.org/attachments/download/128/icy_pciconf.txt (`pciconf -lbv`) * http://viettug.org/attachments/download/132/icy_lspci_nn.txt (`lspci -nn`) * http://viettug.org/attachments/download/147/icy_kernel.txt (the kernel configuration) When I boot the system with `acpi=off`, I can hear the sound (snd_hda). But when `acpi` is used, I hear no sound though the driver seems to work and `mplayer` detects /dev/sp and /dev/mixer successfully. $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2007061600/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: at memory 0x9241 irq 19 kld snd_hda [20080420_0052] [MPSAFE] (mixer only) pcm1: at memory 0x9250 irq 16 kld snd_hda [20080420_0052] [MPSAFE] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex) I don't experience FreeBSD much. Could you help me to turn the sound on?

sound configuration for pidgin
Hello all, I'd like to hear some notification from Pidgin. When configuring Pidgin, I use mplayer %s to make Pidgin play stuff. But it's hard to hear the sound as pidgin's volume is small (while the system mixer is almost 100:100). Is there anyway to have a bigger sound in Pidgin? Thank you!

When I use `mplayer -af volume=n` within `n > 10`, I get so much noises. The acceptable value is 9 or 10. The sound files are taken from default installation of Pidgin, and I shouldnot ormalize them :) -- unless I want some lourder notifications.

When I press "Browse" in Pidgin Configuration Page for Sound I don't get the right place of default sound file. Pidgin may use files from GTK collection. When I use Arch Linux I can use "play %s" but "play" isnot installed as default on FreeBSD.
