Since I am no FreeBSD guru, I didn't know how to "patch" my kernel sources. I did have them extracted so I backed up all of my sound related kernel objects and the original ich.c file, downloaded and copied the one in the above post to the /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/ directory, and ran the commands you, Ariff, provided and restarted... It worked like a champ!!! So, now my question is this: Since you recommended I patch my kernel to STABLE, is it necessary now since I have audio working? I have been using freebsd-update to get the latest security patches and such. I would like to know how to track the stable branch but I think I'll have to post to the freebsd-stable list for that. I know how off-topic posts are frowned upon on other lists and I am sure the FreeBSD community is no different. Thanks again, Ariff, for your assistance! I truly appreciate it! Jeff Cross
