I have been trying to get sound to work on my 7.2-stable machine
without success and I am thinking that my sound card is not
supported.
The machine is an old Pavilion 4455 with a combo sound card and
software modem. I do not need the modem, just the sound. The
card is
Rockwell RipTide Combo 56K HCF Modem-Audio PCI
and it seems the audio part is
RipTide PCI Audio Controler (Conexant)
I followed the handbook on getting sound to work, but no driver
would load. Checked the 7.2 hardware list and I do not see
anything like the card. Installed OSS (both from a package and
later from 4Front-Tech), but no luck. Seems the BSD version
does not have the riptide driver - which I think is what may
work.
So, do you think I need to buy a sound card?
