 .Cd "device sound"
 .Cd "device snd_fm801"
 .Sh DESCRIPTION

 .Xr sound 4 ,
 to attach to the audio devices based on the Forte Media FM801 chipset.
 This is a common chipset in various parts used by many OEM manufacturers.
 .Sh HARDWARE

 .Pp
 .Bl -bullet -compact
 .It
 Forte Media FM801
 .El
 .Sh SEE ALSO
 .Xr sound 4
 .Sh HISTORY
 The
 .Nm
 device driver first appeared in
 .Fx 4.2 .
 .Sh BUGS
 The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual
 sound controller, which makes it possible to have soundless support.
 The problem is that both chipsets with and without sound support use the
 same PCI ID, which makes it impossible to determine which one of them is
 installed.
