X-BeenThere: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Multimedia discussions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 19:46:20 -0000 I recently installed an evaluation copy of Windows XP Professional Edition for x64 on one of my drives (mainly for the purpose of setting up some MIDI apps, such as Cakewalk), and after checking out the current list of available drivers for the various Soundblaster cards, found that the basic Soundblaster Live! cards don't have a driver as of yet (one is supposed to become available soon), but that the Soundblaster Live! 24- bit (which does look like a rather nice card, in fact), does already have a driver available. So, I'm wondering about the support for this card under FreeBSD. Is it already supported, or will it be in the near future? I'd really like to make sure that whatever new card I buy, it will work under both OSes. Thanks. -- Conrad J. Sabatier -- "In Unix veritas"
