snd_hda patch works on Dell Dimension 9150

[Chris Shenton]

I have a Dell Dimension 9150 with what I believe is a SigmaTel
integrated STA9220 audio card, for which Dell only provides Window
support.  I haven't had audio since I bought the box. 

I applied the patches per your article:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2006-September/004864.html

Had to rebuild the kernel because I couldn't kldload it -- the
kernel's compiled-in sound driver appeared to conflict.  After reboot,
did a

  kldload /boot/kernel/snd_hda.ko

Now I can cat .au files to /dev/audio0.0 and hear 'em fine.  Will try
other audios later. Haven't tried recording yet. 

You asked for success/failure, and here's my sndstat info; if you
would like other info just ask.
