The result comes basically down to: > Get a Soundblaster - a real one, not a clone. probably you are searching a very old archive because my advice is _DO NOT_ get a soundblaster, but rather get some WSS/MSS clone based on the Crystal CS423x or Yamaha OPL/SAx codec or, failing that, OPTI931 (these are true full duplex cards, ISA, PnP, cheap and well supported under FreeBSD by the "pcm" driver). cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
