He posted a message saying that he was having trouble with it. I answered it telling him to put snd_driver_load=3D"YES" into loader.conf but he never replied back to say if it worked or not. I just compiled a list, based on the photos, of sound cards, on newegg.com, that are keyed for PCI-X and PCI 32-bit / 66Mhz buses, I make no guaranties!!: CREATIVE Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit 30SB041000000 $29 <-- Audigy LS Chipset= !!!
