Only the Ensoniq 137x based card records properly. I've got an ISA SB that worked fine on 3.bx, but stopped working on 4.1. I haven't checked it recently because it's ISA, and I'm not sure I have a machine left with any ISA slots. The SiS 7012 will record, but until conversion code is MFC'ed, it can only record in one format, because that's all the hardware supports. FWIW, I added the support for it to the ich driver; it didn't work at all when I first got it. Finally, I've got a trident 4dwave that I hope to get into the same state as the SiS. In summary, my experience has been that buying an audio card is a crap shoot as to whether or not it will record on FreeBSD, even if it's listed as supported on the pcm manual page. > BTW: this *is* -multimedia :) Whoops. I thought it was -questions. My only excuse is that I recently switched from the digested version of -questions. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
