I'm using PC-BSD 9.0 with FreeBSD 9.0 kernel x86 and at boot, I see a message
"Unindentified sound card... please report @ PC-BSD support..." something like
that.
So, I directly expose the problem to the FreeBSD hardware team because it's a
FreeBSD lack of driver.
Here is the output of my "lspci -v" command concerning this sound card :
02:00.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc. PEX8112 x1 Lane PCI Express-to-PCI
Bridge (rev aa) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
Bus: primary=02, secondary=03, subordinate=03, sec-latency=64
I/O behind bridge: 0000d000-0000dfff
Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [60] Express PCI/PCI-X Bridge, MSI 00
03:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788 [Oxygen HD
Audio]
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Virtuoso 100 (Xonar DX)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
I/O ports at d800
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
In fact, I think that the "Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc
CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio]" is already supported on FreeBSD, but this sound card
has something special : it's not a native PCI-E sound card, but a native PCI
one, so it uses the "PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc. PEX8112 x1 Lane PCI
Express-to-PCI Bridge (rev aa)" as a bridge to communicate with the
motherboard. And THIS component isn't supported!
