Very Computer

Hello,
I'm a newbie and trying to configure sound in FreeBSD 4.4
My mobo is intel i810 with onboard sound AC'97
now, following the FreeBSD handbook chapter 14, I don't see my card model
in the list. The Handbook says "if you don't see your card in the list,
check the pcm(4) manual page" and I did. But still I'm still not sure on
what I should add to my config file.

Will these 2 lines be appropriate:

device pcm
options PNPBIOS     #because my soundcard in onboard, Do I need this line?

If anybody has experience with sound config in intel i810 mobo, please
kindly help me

Another question is will the sound work with X (in this case I use KDE
2.2) once I get it to work in my system? ie: will I be able to play mp3
files using xmms in KDE

try:

# cd /dev
# sh MAKEDEV snd0
# kldload pcm

If you see something in /var/log/messages about an AC97 sound card, then it has
probably worked.

If it works in console mode, it will work under X.
