Hi, In my computer hardware upgrade project (which has already seen me switch 3 motherboards and 2 CPU's in 1 month), I have reached a point where I need to invest a bit further. My current Gigabyte GA970 motherboard is working perfectly, except that the onboard sound (Realtek) is aweful, with a whole lot of high-pitch hiss accompanying the sound whenever I try to play any music. I would like to solve the problem by installing a separate internal sound card - the best option appears to be Asus Xonar DG PCI Internal Sound Card with a C-Media CMI8786 chipset. Will my idea of disabling the onboard sound and installing the separate card work ? My motherboard's BIOS does provide the option to disable the onboard sound. So I think the question simply boils down to whether the CMI8786 chipset be supported by the FreeBSD kernel. Thanks for any help. Manish Jainhelp
