Also, have you searched for a bug report at the web site? Might be that it's a known issue. I have this device on a desktop machine: [admin@archangel][~] $ kldstat && dmesg | grep pcm && cat /dev/sndstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 17 0xc0400000 5dfd28 kernel 2 1 0xc09e0000 3254 splash_bmp.ko 3 1 0xc09f4000 5844 snd_ich.ko 4 2 0xc09fa000 1d4fc sound.ko 5 1 0xc0a18000 9b70 sis.ko 6 14 0xc0a22000 537f0 acpi.ko pcm0: <SiS 7012> port 0xe400-0xe47f,0xe000-0xe0ff irq 18 at device 2.7 on pci0 pcm0: <Avance Logic ALC655 AC97 Codec> FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <SiS 7012> at io 0xe000, 0xe400 irq 18 bufsz 16384 kld snd_ich (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default) ...and it works quite well. So I'd suspect something's up with cbb et al, but I can't say. What pcmcia bridge do you have? Try the manpages for cbb, pccbb, and cardbus, and compare with your dmesg output. Maybe the ECS mainboard has an unsupported PCMCIA controller or something.... If no one on questions@ can help, you might even try "hackers@", as real knowledgeable people (namely, the developers) are there often; however, I would advise you to try "questions@freebsd.org" first, and then "hackers@" only after waiting a few days without a response at questions, and with some indication that you've done more research on the problem. I think they'd be happy to help if they can, but we can't all go running to the designers with every little thing, eh? Kevin Kinsey
