:   I've recently installed 4.1-Stable on a fujitsu lifebook, which has

: 
: chip2: <ESS Technology Maestro 2E Audio controller> port 0x1000-0x10ff irq 9 at
: device 13.0 on pci0

: about the card, but nothing else. (Doesn't recongize pcm)

Edward-

This chip is not officially supported under newpcm.  There is a 
"mixer-only" (cd audio) driver available from

http://www.hut.fi/~will/freebsd-essm2-mixer.tar.gz

It needs the following patch to compile

The other alternative is to use the OSS driver for FreeBSD4.  It is
available from
