<< A driver for the CMedia CMI8338/CMI8738 sound chips has been added. >>
This quote comes straight from FreeBSD.org. However, it isn't detecting my CMI8738 Audio chip... I've ran dmesg |more and there is only one unknown device,
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x13f6, dev=0x0111) at 14.0 irq 11
Now, I've been looking through FreeBSD mail archives, and this PNP ID comes up, but at 15.0 on irq 5. I know that IRQ 5 is basically sound, but this is, of course, not set in stone, and that IRQ 11 can be used for sound. However, I didn't think It was possible to share IRQ addresses between Video and Sound...
pci1: <NVidia GeForce2 GTS graphics accelerator> at 0.0 irq 11
That is my video card. Now, it's been a while, and I never was really good with IRQ problems (never had to deal with them) but does this sound like an IRQ conflict? I mean, if FreeBSD supports a PNP device and has a driver for a PNP device, shouldn't it, well, Plug-and-Play?
