X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:42:34 -0000 Because of the problems with my onboard Intel HDA audio chip I plan to buy a soundcard that is supported by FreeBSD. Question is which soundcard has great quality, comes with hardware mixing and is (natively) supported by FreeBSD? The Creative X-fi cards fits in this profile and I see that they are supported by FreeBSD. Who has experience with these cards in FreeBSD? Are they 100% supported? Are there any alternatives? Thanks in advance! -- Regards, Aniruddha
