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

74.Sh BUGS
75The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual
76sound controller, making it possible to have soundless support.
77One problem is that both chipsets, with and without sound support, use the
78same PCI ID.
79This makes it impossible to determine which one is installed.
