The VIA8233/8235 audio driver has undergone another revision in an attempt to provide support for the VIA8235. The code is in -CURRENT as of 5 minutes ago. Several people have reported quiet/inaudible sound on P4 boards with this southbridge. If you have a VIA8235 based board, I'd be interested to know if it works for you as several people have reported quiet/near-silent operation with this chipset and I do not have the relevant h/w. The new code paths are used by the h/w that I do have access to (VIA8233C) so testing this code is low risk: the worst case is no sound :-)
If you have a suitable board, but are not running -CURRENT. Let me know what version of FreeBSD you'd like it for and I'll do the relevant work for some small number of requests since I really want to resolve this issue.
