Is it me, or is sound really great on FreeBSD?

I'd probably turn it off if I saw EQ on :p But that looks like an interesting option.

My laptop speakers sound ok every OS without EQ, but Waves MaxxAudio on Windows kind-of cleans it up (more treble/less bass; messes with niche stuff a little so I disable it entirely)

The default is not bad...but you can downgrade bass from the default 0.5 to 0.4 for the in-built speakers. I mean I really can't really hear the bass in them all that much anyway, but I do hear distortions sometimes.
 
Also, Gemini says: "In the FreeBSD OSS framework, keeping pcm at maximum often amplifies the signal beyond 0 dB into digital clipping territory."

Is that so?

Setting mixer pcm=0.9 seems better on my laptop speakers.
