I've reinstalled NetBSD, and now it at least is not giving errors left and 
right. However, when I try to use mixerctl or audioctl it tells me the 
operation is not supported by the device. I installed OSS, and it 
autodetected my Ectiva 1938 card, and I ran Soundon, and had no errors. 
However, whenever I try to dump some data on /dev/audio or /dev/sound, it 
acts like it's playing, but no sound comes out (like before on my PC, like 
the mute is on.) To solve this, I tried to turn off mute using mixerctl, but 
typing mixerctl just hangs until I hit ^C.

What can I do? ..
