kldload snd_driver only detected my USB Headset and loaded theusb audio driver. It did not detect my CMI8788 (ASUS Xonar DX PCIe)and snd_cmi does not support it. cat /dev/sndstat generated this: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)Installed devices:pcm0: <USB audio> (play/rec) default Which is my Logitech USB headset, not my PCIe sound card. The boot generated a message stating "Unsupported Sound Carddetected. Please contact lists@support.freebsd.org with soundcard make and model." > Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 11:24:30 +0100 > From: jamie@kode5.net > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: CMI8788 audio card/chip support > > [ Polytropon wrote on Mon 27.Aug'12 at 4:10:57 +0200 ] > > > On Mon, 27 Aug 2012 02:01:34 +0000, James Powell wrote: > > > > > > Are any plans being made to start support for these audio cards? > > > Currently I'm using one in a system I would like to use with > > > FreeBSD but it has no support through the kernel and driver > > > support from OSSv4 lands me with a system that either freezes > > > or won't boot properly. > > > > Interesting.

That's what's recommended in the handbook.
