Hi, In my computer hardware upgrade project (which has already seen me switch=20 3 motherboards and 2 CPU's in 1 month), I have reached a point where I need= =20 to invest a bit further. My current Gigabyte GA970 motherboard is working=20 perfectly, except that the onboard sound (Realtek) is aweful, with a whole= =20 lot of high-pitch hiss accompanying the sound whenever I try to play any=20 music. I would like to solve the problem by installing a separate internal sound=20 card - the best option appears to be Asus Xonar DG PCI Internal Sound Card= =20 with a C-Media CMI8786 chipset. Will my idea of disabling the onboard=20 sound and installing the separate card work ? My motherboard's BIOS does=20 provide the option to disable the onboard sound. So I think the question=20 simply boils down to whether the CMI8786 chipset be supported by the=20 FreeBSD kernel. Thanks for any help. Manish Jain
