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.

I was hoping someone out there might be able to tell me something to try, or at least confirm for me that this chipset doesn't currently have a driver that works, so I can stop banging my head against the wall. 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.

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.

Thank you Casey ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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!
