[Question : which one should I use (cmi ? pcm ? pcm+cmi?)
and how to disable the other ?]

My questions:
--------------
I had a look on internet, in the handbook, in the mailing archive.
I found some more or less related topic, like :
- driver "forgets" to power on the ouptput amp.
- SiS7012 handles by /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/ich.c

but nothing help till now.
Can someone tell me where to go now ?

Thanks a lot in advance.
