Hi all,

Just got my 5.2-RELEASE installation up and running. My sound card 
(Realtek onboard sound: ALC650) isn't supported, and from searching 
Google it looks like there aren't any drivers.

I was wondering (hoping!) that I could still get basic functionality 
with some kind of generic driver. Like how my Radeon 9800Pro isn't 
supported, but I can still get the basics by using the "vesa" driver. Is 
there something like that for soundcards?

Thanks,

John Thile
