Hi Ariff,
Thanks for the quick response, and advise, -yup u're likely right
regarding vendor bios issues, ... come to think of it now (damn
hindsight :),
-disable on-board audio in Bios, and install slightly older
Soundblaster compatible (or Audigy 1, or 2 ) ? -i think this should
work for present purposes too.
-I want to stay with FBSD 6.2 Stable , or 7-Current...,do you
recommend a good sort-off off the shelf pci-soundcard(s) ? (stereo,...
is fine) - sorry about this off-topic question, and thanks again.
regards,
Rick.
