What I'm getting at is, I'm not getting all that I could be getting out of it, and I want to know more about the hardware and software that I'm using. I was wondering if the folks who originally write the snd_hda driver, that's only for the Nvidia & Analog Devices hardware? What documentation did they work with to write that driver? Nvidia sells *something* (and I know precious little about that *something*) that's supposed to improve the sound system. I don't want to pay Asus for it until I know whether or not it's needed for the FreeBSD driver, or if having it could help me in any way whatsoever. If it would help, Id buy it, but until I know that, I really hate feeling like a prize chump, paying them for Windows software that I'd never make use of (I never run any M$ software). More than just that, I want & need whatever docs were used to form the snd_hda driver. I'd really, really appreciate any info on that you have. Thanks.
