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.

And THIS component isn't supported! =
