I am looking to setup my built in Sound card on my Abit AT7-MAX motherboard. The board supports six channels via a Realteck AL650. However, I do not know what driver to use. The sound card was not listed in the hardware notes located on the home page of FreeBSD.org. My gut tells me this is not a complete list. If someone knows, what driver to use that would be grand? After looking on the net for quite a time I found these two sites. The first page says it is a FreeBSD driver but has no user feedback nor does it state what versions it was tested on. The second page is from Realteck directly and is a linux driver. Would a linux driver work? I installed the lnux comatable binaries. Does that work for drivers and programs or am I simply dreaming. That was the best I could do. http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/215738/Realtek-RTL8139C_Plus-Driver-1.10.html http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?lineid=5&famid=12&series=8&Software=True#8Unix%20(Linux) I have been using FreeBSD for about two weeks now and have not yet tried to use a driver that is not built into the system. I was hoping someone would know if there was a built in driver that I could use, or explain to me how to add a third party driver. I also did some searching in the hardware archives that stated (kinda. They were mostly speaking about the A7N8X) that pcm would work. I read the man page on http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=4&topic=pcm#4 and my card was not listed. However, it said if my device was not listed then the sound chip may be supported by a "Bridge Driver". Ok as if finding drivers was not hard enough. Now I have to look for a "Bridge Driver". Could someone tell me what a bridge driver is and where I can find them? If I have the wrong mailing list then I apologize for the disturbance. Perhaps someone could direct me in the correct place. Thank you to everyone ahead of time for any help you can provide. Thank you, Joshua Lewishome | help
