Hi !

Debian user just have installed FreeBSD 5.3.
Seems great !

But I my sound chip do not properly work.

I tried to :

kldload snd_...

pilots one by one until I found 
snd_ich pilot that made some sound when KDE 3.3 launch
(and suppress the error about /dev/dsp )

But the sound works 2 seconds only and becomes then silently stuck !

After loading pilot :
kldload snd_ich

the Sis chip seems to be seen. I get the following msg :

pcm0: SiS 7012 port 0xd800-0xd63f, 0xdc00-0xdcff 
     IRQ 11 at dev 2.7 on PCI 0
     ICH0: (GIANT_LOCKED)
   

This SiS sound chip properly works on Debian linux on the same machine.
But I remember that it was hard to find the right pilot with Linux...

Can you give me any advice, please ?

Fabrice.
