Hi,

I'm trying to determine what sound card a notebook has.  There are
three relevant dmesg lines below, but looking at freebsd's hardware
notes, I can't tell whether I should use the snd_ich(4) driver for an
Intel ICH4 card, the snd_hda(4) driver for an 82801 card or a sigmatel
card.  Any suggestions?


%cat /var/run/dmesg.boot| grep pcm
pcm0: <Intel ICH4 (82801DB)> port 0xee00-0xeeff,0xe000-0xe03f mem
0xffaff800-0xffaff9ff,0xffaff400-0xffaff4ff irq 4 at device 31.5 on
pci0
pcm0: [ITHREAD]
pcm0: <SigmaTel STAC9750/51 AC97 Codec>

Thanks,

Joey
