They were just instructions I found on the web, I believe on either Darrell Anderson's or Scott L.'s page about this hardware, for how to get the kernel module for this driver loaded and working. I just don't know if some of them are no longer the right thing to do since they were from before the driver was included in -STABLE. >If you are prepared to do some leg work, a good start now would be building >a kernel without your customizations and testing that.

All the customizations I did were outside the kernel, and just involved loaded some modules. Here's the current list, obviously the maestro3 and the pcm ones are the only ones really related to the problem at hand. > kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 9 0xc0100000 412488 kernel 2 1 0xc0513000 8cc8 snd_maestro3.ko 3 1 0xc051c000 1889c snd_pcm.ko 4 1 0xc232e000 7000 linprocfs.ko 5 1 0xc23ab000 2000 green_saver.ko 6 1 0xc23ae000 14000 linux.ko 7 1 0xc2ea5000 1c000 smbfs.ko 8 1 0xc2ec1000 3000 libiconv.ko 9 1 0xc2ec5000 3000 libmchain.ko So building a new kernel wouldn't be necessary, since I'm already using a standard kernel. What else could I try besides not loading the modules? >If you don't want to do the leg work, I'd suggest splashing out $10 on a >cheapo PCI card (als4000, cs4281, cmi8738). Is there an easy way to find out which cards have those, or what chipset a particular card uses? Obviously I could look at web pages one by one, but is there a list somewhere?
