I have some Realtek crap and it worked only with OSS. I think that many more devices are supported in 7.0 so you might want to upgrade the system. Check the hardware notes. For the list of supported devices by OSS you can check Open Sound System web-site. They also have a binary package that you can install with pkg_add utility. Package is sometimes updated before the port! Best, Predrag
