31.Nm snd_fm801
32.Nd "Forte Media FM801 bridge device driver"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
35kernel configuration file:
36.Bd -ragged -offset indent
37.Cd "device sound"
38.Cd "device snd_fm801"
39.Ed

73.Sh BUGS
74The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual
75sound controller, making it possible to have soundless support.
76One problem is that both chipsets, with and without sound support, use the
77same PCI ID.
78This makes it impossible to determine which one is installed.
