Tell me where I can send you a "perfectly standard SB16/PCI" sample featuring a "perfectly-compatible-AC'97 CT1297-TAT". Not to be rude but: 1) I have two exact sample of this "SB16/PCI" card. One working (have an AC'97 marked chip), one not working (the CT1297 featured one). This is the _only_ difference between the cards. 2) Syndrom is the exact same as described by Dan 3) I spent one day shouting and getting machines up and down, dooming to hell FBSD 3.X and 4.X sound modules, drivers, writers (My apologizes to all, at last), sound card makers (shame on you, guys), Nad, cable makers, jack makers, etc.... until i find this little difference. 4) I'm astounded to see no mention of this in any lists. Only: "Hey, this card doesn't works !!" and "No problems here". Sorry if i felt that someone could be helped, in the future, by this information. I can feel how difficult it can be maintaining drivers with hardware that change once a week. (Or... hum.... wait... Hey! It's a conspiracy... Device Writers are teaming with card makers to.... Argh...no!.... no!..) ;). RN. IeM PS: Thanks for the chips link. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
