Hi,

I'm trying to get on-board sound to work on my Abit VA6.  Has anyone
done this?  Can you send me the relevant bits of your kernel config
for 4.0-STABLE?

FreeBSD vger.bsdhome.com 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #3: Mon May 29 20:57:26 EDT 2000     root@vger.bsdhome.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/VGER  i386

With the following options in my kernel config:

	options  PNPBIOS
	device pcm
	device sbc

dmesg reports the following:

[...]

I must admit that I know very little about sound cards, which drivers
to use, pcm, newpcm, oldpcm, voxware, luigi, etc.  I find the
documentation for configuring them in our fine OS inadequate (for me,
at least).  The Abit VA6 users manual says this about the on-board
sound:

	"VA6 has a built in AC '97 2.1 CODEC.  This CODEC has an
	integrated H/W Sound Blaster Pro AC '97 digital audio
	controller ..."

And rambles on about great sound quality, blah, blah.

Any help with what should be present in my kernel config to get this
working would be appreciated.  Also, what /dev entries are required
for said device entries?

Thanks,
-Brian
