sound documentation for the snd_hda (Nvidia)

[Rick Nekus]

Hi,
I had an Asus P5B-Deluxe (Intel Quad-core,... AD1988b onboard audio)
-it has the same audio chipset as yours
yes, they are different boards, but (at that time) I had to use the OSS drivers from:
http://www.4front-tech.com/freebsd.html (read the install howto)
 and it worked great for me. 
(but all I wanted was good quality stereo ;)
-of course, this depends on "exactly" what you want out of it ? and if you're already aware of this,... ah well.
 
hope this helps.
