Can't hear onboard sound with chip CMI9738, but driver is installed!

Hi all,

I'm totally new to Solaris 10 on x86. I'm writing, because I hear no sound. My mainboard K7S5A PRO has an onboard soundchip called "CMI9738". It seems as if the Solaris-installer has chosen the right driver "SUNWaudd". But when I play internet radio or just an inserted audio CD, I can't hear sound.

- When it comes to internet radio all programs abort playing.
- When it comes to CD-Audio, the program seems to play, because my DVD-Burner spins the inserted CD, but still no sound.

Of course I already opened the audio mixer in the downer right corner of my Sun Java Desktop and put the volume slider at 50% so I should hear something, but still no sound!

I already checked my cables, but with another OS at the same computer I get sound, so all seems to be perfectly cabled.

Is there something I have to do to activate the sound? Did I forgot something?

Please help, I'm porting a game to Solaris 10, but without sound, I can't port it!!
