Hi everyone, wondering if anybody could help me out. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-release on a Sony Vaio, and just about everything worked right off the bat. However when starting Gnome, i get a message about how it can't open the sound device, and sound just isn't working for me. The sound device listed in Sony's specs says ac97-compatible on board sound. I tried the open source sound drivers with no luck. Has anybody else been successful getting this sound device up and running? I know it's quite a common chip (my desktop, m$, uses it aswell). Is there perhaps just an option I can add to the kernel? That would be a no-brainer, i just need to know what to add. Feel free to ask for more info, I will post exact messages, specs, and output from any commands that may help you. Thanks in advance.
