SND_FM801(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					      SND_FM801(4)

NAME

     snd_fm801 -- Forte Media FM801 bridge device driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device sound
	   device snd_fm801

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   snd_fm801_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The snd_fm801 bridge driver allows the generic audio driver, sound(4), to attach audio devices based on the Forte Media FM801 chipset.  This
     is a common chipset found in various parts used by OEM manufacturers.

HARDWARE

     The snd_fm801 driver supports audio devices based on the following chipset:

     o	 Forte Media FM801

SEE ALSO

     sound(4)

HISTORY

     The snd_fm801 device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.2.

AUTHORS

     This manual page was written by Joel Dahl <joel@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual sound controller, making it possible to have soundless support.  One
     problem is that both chipsets, with and without sound support, use the same PCI ID.  This makes it impossible to determine which one is
     installed.
