There is the option of trying out the drivers from 4Front Technology (http://www.opensound.com). You will need to rebuild your kernel with no sound driver and then install theirs. If it works, you will need to pay them about $15. Of course this may not address the problem for others that run into it.

So does the world oppose a new idea. It takes time to make up the minds to its value and importance. Ignorance, prejudice and inertia of the old retard its early progress. It is discredited by insincere exponents and selfish exploiters. It is attacked and condemned by its enemies. Eventually, though, all barriers are thrown down, and it spreads like fire. This will also prove true of the wireless art." - Nikola Tesla in 1908 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
