I'm using an HP Pavilion a1440n which came with integrated sound device, unfortunately, I don't remember which one it is, and don't know where to find it's name here in PC-BSD so that I can further troubleshoot this.
You might try poking around the HP site, see if the win-drivers clues you in. Or if its writen on the bottom of the laptop (mine only lists the networking on it).
Integrated networking and audio seems to be a bit iffy from time to time on some laptops, but sound works more often then the winmodems hehe.
Thanks, I will go poke around there and see if I can find something
Actually, this is a desktop pc, not a laptop, but yeah integrated audio is a pain sometimes. Same sound device works with openSUSE 10.2 though. (I dual boot openSUSE 10.2 and PC-BSD)
I have to say, this is day one on PC-BSD, but so far, I am really impressed.
You may be SOL...a quick search of the FreeBSD lists didn't return anything for that chipset. I'm using same but 850 version and the snd_ich sound driver works for me.
I doubt it but try...PC-BSD linux compat layer is currently Fedora Core 4...there is a driver there for FC5 but most linux drivers are tied to the kernel.
I'd recomend the Audigy 4 if you want a high qual (for bsd) card since I have one that works but any thing supported should work. If you look in /boot/kernel/ all of the snd_<chipname> have manual pages in section 4 that should have a list of cards known to work with it. Just open up konsole:
example, to see the manual for the snd_atiixp.ko driver:
