Hi

Does anyone have experience with a usb sound card? Are any of them 
supported in FreeBSD?

Also [OT] what is the sound quality like? I find it hard to believe that 
a device that is available for around £1.50 can be as good as a PCI card 
costing quite a lot more.

The onboard sound chip on my motherboard has kicked it, shame as it was 
really nice (HDA) sound.

Thanks

Chris
