Hi, I'm asked to replace an OS by FreeBSD on a PC which has the soundcard "C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738". I don't want to end up with a system that does not have sound. Can someone tell me whether this card works? And if yes, tell me a few details what to do to get it work. Thanks so much. Rob.

That's on -current, but I don't think it would be different on -stable. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net.
