well, the sound works fine in any other os for as long as i have my box
on...so i don't see how i would need a new motherboard. perhaps the
chipset on this motherboard is slightly incompatible with freebsd at
this point and thats what is causing the problem but i used debian on
here for about 2 years and never did i have a problem. it seems quite
unlikely that suddenly the motherboard would break just in time for
freebsd to be installed :P the motherboard is an ecs k7s5a. oh and
between the time that the sound started screwing up and now i have put
in a spare harddrive to put win2k on and during the few days that i used
that the sound never had a problem, either.
