Hi Folks,
I'm using FreeBSD 8.1 Release amd64 on a MacBook Pro 4.1.
As you can see I have this sound card:
The problem is (no matter if I'm using the kernel module snd_hda or OSS 4.2 from ports):
The output sound volume is too low, It seems the output volume is about at most 1/30 of what I've got from Gentoo/Windoz/OSX.
I must adhere my ears to the speakers to hear the sound.
For a long long time I want to install FreeBSD as my desktop OS (I had it as a server OS for about two years already). The only thing that kept me away from it, is hardware issue.
Now I have installed FreeBSD and I'm loving it so much (I came from a Gentoo background, and never looked back).
The only major problems I have are (Of course there are minor things that I've miss from Gentoo, but who cares):
1. SOUND (Any help will be *REALLY REALLY* appreciated).
2. Freeze with 8.2 Release (I'll stick with 8.1 until 9.0-current solve this issue).
