Hello!

I've built a new AMD64 PC for me based on Gigabyte K8VT800 Pro motherboard with 
VIA K8T800 chipset. I knew I had to check it out against hardware notes, but I 
didn't. So I installed FreeBSD-5.3, built Xorg and Gnome from ports, and was 
devastated to find out that there's no conceivable way to get my built-in 
Realtek ALC658 sound card working :-( I've installed winxp since and been 
pondering on how to get FreeBSD singing. Please tell me, what's the best way

I need a nice soundcard with a fully functional S/PDIF coaxial and optical 
outputs, that can send unencoded 44.1kHz, 48kHz and encoded AC3 and DTS - all 
latest Realtek sound cards can do that. I need it to be 90-100% supported by 
FreeBSD (bridge driver or not) and I don't care about the price if it's under 
$100 and worth it.

Save me from M$! I've wanted it for months to switch to BSD and only see 
Windows in a PC emulator...

Best wishes,
Andrew
