    Hello,

    I have two sound cards:

    SiS 7012 (C-Media Electronics CMI9739 AC97 Codec) - 'snd_ich'
    Genius Sound Maker Value 5.1 (CMedia CMI8738) - 'snd_cmi'

    The first is integrated in the motherboard, and it is detected first and
    used as the default output device (pcm0). The second it detected after
    the first, so it is used as the second output device (pcm1).

    I want to use my second sound card as the default output device. I tried
    using the loader.conf variables "*_after" and "*_before", but they
    always load them before booting the kernel, so the integrated card is
    detected first and assigned to the default output device (pcm0). So I
    have the drivers as modules, and load the driver for the second card
    when booting the kernel, and then from the command line I load the
    driver for the integrated card.

    Is it possible to put the sound card PCI addresses manually in
    'device.hints'? How?

    Here is the relevant output of 'pciconf -vl' (after loading the
    drivers in the desired order):

    pcm1@pci0:2:7: class=0x040100 card=0x70121849 chip=0x70121039 rev=0xa0
    hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)'
        device = 'SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator'
        class = multimedia
        subclass = audio

    pcm0@pci0:9:0: class=0x040100 card=0x011113f6 chip=0x011113f6 rev=0x10
    hdr=0x00 vendor = 'C-Media Electronics Inc.'
        device = 'CMI8738/PCI C3DX PCI Audio Chip&#20013;&#22269;'
        class = multimedia
        subclass = audio

    I am posting this question again because I did not get a response. If I
    should ask this question somewhere else please inform me.

    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Ale
