Hello, I'm assuming this is the right list to talk about updates to the WWW docs as well. I was wondering if it was time to update FAQ69 w.r.t. the list of sound cards that are supported? It (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ69.html#69) states: FreeBSD supports the SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster Pro, SoundBlaster 16, Pro Audio Spectrum 16, AdLib and Gravis UltraSound sound cards. There is also limited support for MPU-401 and compatible MIDI cards. Cards conforming to the Microsoft Sound System specification are also supported through the pcm driver. I have a Creative Labs PCI128 which *is* supported with the pcm driver mostly due to it being an Ensoniq chip. I don't know if this falls under the category of "conforming to the Micro$oft $ound $y$tem spec." or not, but regardless, it would probably be informative for people investigating FreeBSD to know what these cards are. One would imagine that most people wouldn't know if their sound card was MSS compatible (heck, I don't know if *MY* sound card is ... I just know "it works under Win98"). We might also want to mention in this FAQ entry about "mixer" and that volumes might be set to 0 (thereby avoiding the FAQ of "sound doesn't work!" and it only being a volume problem). I would be willing to accumulate sound card info for this FAQ (maybe by sending a request for info onto -hackers and/or -current) if it would help. -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds CEG, CCE, Next Generation Flows, HLA | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
