Even though I wish to use only the right driver, the manual didn't say how can I find which driver is the right one except trying with snd_driver. It didn't even mention what drivers are there on the system. One might expect it at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC but there is nothing mentioning sound card. > You must replace snd_hda by the name of the driver for your card. I'd be glad to try that if you inform me what is the name of the driver for my card, or point me way to find this information:) Thanks for answering my mail! -- 我的博客： http://zhangweiwu.ixiezi.com/ 网站进化论 －－写给需要网站或后悔有了网站的人
