Hello all, I've just installed FreeBSD Release 5.3, got most stuff under control except for a few problem with my soundcard. I have an ASROCK K7S41GX motherboard and it has a Realtek AC97 onboard soundcard. Following the instructions in the excellent Handbook,I use kldload to load the snd_driver module (other modules wont work) and it works like a charm , XMMS, noatun etc can playback audio just fine EXCEPT that if I exit X and start KDE then I will get a weird noise out of my speaker, very high pitched and wont stop unless I reboot (though -sometimes- unloading then loading snd_driver works) The same problem will surface if I use loader.conf to automatically load the module instead of using kldload. I will get the same bizzare noise at bootup. What did I do wrong here ? I really would rather have the module load automagically instead of logging in as root and load it manually. Any help would be welcome. PS I am a newbie to the BSD world ^_^
