I need to retire my somewhat ancient VIA KT133A-based main- board. I'm using a SB AWE64 Gold card right now, but since modern boards no longer have ISA slots, I'll need a PCI card. Can anyone give recommendations (for a FreeBSD-supported card, of course)? I don't need fancy features (digital output/96kHz recording/Dolby-whatever), the only must-haves are bass and treble mixer controls. I've got an SB Live! as well, and it just sounds crappy in comparison to the AWE, even with 4Front drivers. Line-out with RCA-jacks (instead of 3.5mm miniplugs) would be nice, too. Cheers, -sascha
