configuring snd_hda

[Zahemszky Gábor]

Hi!

I've got an Intel DG965SS mainboard, on it I run 8.2-RC3 - amd64. The mainboard has a built-in sound device,
which is known to snd_hda:

# sysctl hw.snd.verbose=2
# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)
Installed devices:

I can use the back panel speaker connector, it works. But:
I cannot use the other connectors: neither back panel microphone connector
nor the front panel audio connectors work. On the front, there are a green
(line-out/speaker) and a pink (microphone) connectors, but neither of them
work.

I've just found this information in the mainboard's manual:

"NOTE
Some chassis still use a front panel audio solution based on the AC '97 audio
specification. Refer to Table 7 below to connect an AC '97 front panel solution to the
front panel audio header on the board. The front panel audio jacks will need to be
manually configured for microphone or line out functionality in the Intel® Audio Studio
application."

I've read man snd_hda, and found the info about reconfiguring snd_hda, but - I'm so sorry - I
cannot understand, how can I make this soundcard to use my microphone. (I tested it on my laptops,
and the microphone is good on these machines.) I'd like to use the muting function, too: if
I push the headset into the front connector, it would be better to switch off the
speakers in the back connectors -).

I don't know, does it need, but here is the actual pindump:
