.Sh NAME
.Nm snd_fm801
.Nd "Forte Media FM801 bridge device driver"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device sound"
.Cd "device snd_fm801"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
bridge driver allows the generic audio driver,
.Xr sound 4 ,
to attach to the audio devices based on the Forte Media FM801 chipset.
This is a common chipset in various parts used by many OEM manufacturers.
.Sh HARDWARE
The
.Nm
driver supports audio devices based on the following chipset:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -compact
.It
Forte Media FM801
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr sound 4
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
device driver first appeared in
.Fx 4.2 .
.Sh BUGS
The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual
sound controller, which makes it possible to have soundless support.
The problem is that both chipsets with and without sound support use the
same PCI ID, which makes it impossible determine which one of them is
installed.
