<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>Installed Beta 2 without
problem. Looks very nice. Too quiet however. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>Mobo is ASUS OEM'd to Compaq a few
years back. Sound is on-board Realtek AC97. Sound worked fine with
W2K a month ago. Double-checked that speakers work and they are plugged in
correct place.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>Sound was probably missing on Beta
1 also - I never checked.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>1) System sound setup "looks
ok" - no messages, etc. Tray volume is at 75%.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>2) There is no sound on
bootup or shutdown. Should there be?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>3) Did a PBI of VLC
player. No difference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>4) Is there a "test sound"
feature in FreeBSD or PCBSD? I did not see any mention in Help or
Forums.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>5) Is there a reasonably
handy way to see what the OS thinks is has for hardware and the associated
drivers, etc?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>6) I'm pretty thin (and old -
makes a neo-newbie?) on Unix - but persistent. Any help or suggestions
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
