Can't use AC97 sound in 5.4

[Nguyen Tam Chinh]

Hi,
You've added wrong driver for your sound card.
>From man snd_ich:
----------------------
     The snd_ich driver supports the following audio devices:

      o   AMD 768
      o   AMD 8111
      o   Intel 443MX
      o   Intel ICH
      o   Intel ICH revision 1
      o   Intel ICH2
      o   Intel ICH3
      o   Intel ICH4
      o   Intel ICH5
      o   Intel ICH6
      o   NVIDIA nForce
      o   NVIDIA nForce2
      o   NVIDIA nForce2 400
      o   NVIDIA nForce3
      o   NVIDIA nForce3 250
      o   NVIDIA nForce4
      o   SiS 7012
-----------------------
But in fact you have a VIA sound card :)
The easiest way is add" sound_load="YES" to loader.conf, the other way is 
view the sound driver modules in /boot/kernel and choose what's your.

PS. this question should go to question@ not stable@ :)
