First, top-posting is discourteous, I think. Probably shouldn't do it. umm? you mean me ? -sorry I was just tryin' to help. Secondly, I run FreeBSD-current ... and those OSS drivers say they're for FreeBSD-6. Will they work? geez, I'd say try it, "pkg_add" is a good start,...contibutions are more than welcome, I wish you success in that.> Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2007 14:49:16 -0500> From: chuckr@chuckr.org> To: solarux@hotmail.com> CC: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: sound documentation for the snd_hda (Nvidia)> > Rick Nekus wrote:> > Hi,> > I had an Asus P5B-Deluxe (Intel Quad-core,...
