There are 2 Handbook pages that conflict with each other in the ³Hardware Notes² section First: URL (Section 3.8 Sound Devices) http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/hardware.html#SOUND Second: URL http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=snd_emu10kx&sektion=4&manpath=FreeB SD+8.2-RELEASE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- On the Fist URL there is a section: [The snd_emu10kx(4) driver DOES support the following sound cards (although they have names similar to some supported ones):] With the statement above it statest that the cards listed are supported "driver DOES support" * Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit, identified by FreeBSD as * Creative Sound Blaster Audigy LS / ES, identified by FreeBSD as * All other Creative sound cards with -DAT chipsets. * All Creative X-Fi series sound cards. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- However; when you click the link for snd_emu10kx(4) (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=snd_emu10kx&sektion=4&manpath=Free BSD+8.2-RELEASE), This takes you to the Second URL: Which takes you to the SND_EMU10KX(4) man page Under HARDWARE¹ paragraph 2. It states that "The snd_emu10kx driver DOES NOT support the following sound cards" And lists the same cards +o Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit, identified by FreeBSD as "emu10k1x Soundblaster Live! 5.1". +o Creative Sound Blaster Audigy LS / ES, identified by FreeBSD as "CA0106-DAT Audigy LS". +o All other Creative sound cards with -DAT chipsets. +o All Creative X-Fi series sound cards.
