I'm using PC-BSD 9.0 with FreeBSD 9.0 kernel x86 and at boot=2C I see a mes=
sage "Unindentified sound card... please report @ PC-BSD support..." someth=
ing like that.
So=2C I directly expose the problem to the FreeBSD hardware team because it=
's a FreeBSD lack of driver.
Here is the output of my "lspci -v" command concerning this sound card :
02:00.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology=2C Inc. PEX8112 x1 Lane PCI Express-to-P=
CI Bridge (rev aa) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
Flags: bus master=2C fast devsel=2C latency 0
Bus: primary=3D02=2C secondary=3D03=2C subordinate=3D03=2C sec-latency=
=3D64
I/O behind bridge: 0000d000-0000dfff
Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=3D1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [60] Express PCI/PCI-X Bridge=2C MSI 00
03:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788 [Oxyge=
n HD Audio]
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Virtuoso 100 (Xonar DX)
Flags: bus master=2C medium devsel=2C latency 64=2C IRQ 16
I/O ports at d800
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
In fact=2C I think that the "Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electroni=
cs Inc CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio]" is already supported on FreeBSD=2C but th=
is sound card has something special : it's not a native PCI-E sound card=2C=
but a native PCI one=2C so it uses the "PCI bridge: PLX Technology=2C Inc.=
PEX8112 x1 Lane PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge (rev aa)" as a bridge to communi=
cate with the motherboard. And THIS component isn't supported!
