Are you sure this card actually provides these controls?  I noticed way
back when I switched from the original SB2 to the first one that used
the Vibra chip, that treble and bass weren't supported at all by the
chip itself (no support in Windows, even).

Ciao,
Sheldon.

In Windows, I can go into advanced sound options and increase/decrease both treble and bass using that sliding bar.

the vast majority of sblive cards use codecs that do not have tone controls.
under windows, tone controls are implemented using filters implemented in
dsp code.  this will not be supported under freebsd for some time.

It does not seem that this functionality will be implemented anytime 
soon, so mark it as suspended.
