Thank you in > advance. for many manufacturers "Soundblaster compatible" is just a marketing thing, in many cases it just means "it produces sound". When *I* write "XX compatible" I mean that the device is software-wise almost undistinguishable from XX. About the Turtle Beach Montego, i have no idea on what it does and how. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
