Try 'kldload snd_ich' (as root), and 'dmesg' to see if your card is 
recognized. If that doesn't do the trick, try the other snd_ drivers (you can 
find them in /boot/kernel/). To make it permanent, add 'snd_ich_load=YES' 
to /boot/loader.conf.


 Also, on a completely unrelated note, how do you get the mouse scroll
 wheel to work?  I've got a Microsoft Optical mouse(PS/2) and while I can
 use the wheel as a middle button, the scroll function doesn't seem to help.

Add
   Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
to the mouse section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config. This is a FAQ, and you 
probably should've been able to find it through Google.

So, I guess you've tried all the usual stuff, like kldload'ing the
snd.ko driver and checking the dmesg output it generates?

What's the output of:

# pciconf -lv

(that will scan your PCI bus and report verbosely on all of the PCI
devices it finds.  Usually if it can put a name to a card, then that
card is supported.)

It's not hopeless if pciconf doesn't recognise your card -- it may be
a new revision of a similar piece of kit, with a new PCI ID number,
but that would work well enough with one of the existing drivers.
However, that would take a small kernel patch to make happen.  Or you
may be S.O.L. in which case, buying a cheapo soundcard that you know
is supported would be your best bet.

Cheers,

Matthew

I had exactly the same mainboard and it worked using 'device pcm' in my
kernel. But my sound was terribly bad, kind of distorted. Try 'mixer pcm
75' and it should work somehow better. I actually bought a new one,
becauce I had really big problems with this mainboard and I would
definitley not recommend anybody to buy this one.

Regards.

You need the snd_ich.ko and snd_pcm.ko modules to load.  As root do 
kldload snd_ich.ko, repeat till finished.  Use kldstat to see what is 
loaded.  To have them autoload add these to /boot/loader.conf as 
snd_ich.ko_load=YES and snd_pcm.ko_load=YES.  I have the epox 
8rda3i, it has hardware sournd but I am not sure if it is official 
soundstorm or not.

Hi, Casey!

Check the FAQ  --- if you are on your FBSD system,
is should be in /usr/share/doc/en/books/faq, but it
might be easier to find from www.freebsd.org
I'm sure there's a FAQ called I've got a mouse with
a fancy wheel or something like that 
Good luck!
