None of them attaches to the EHCI bus. :( The only connector which Iwas not able to test is labeled "USB SSD" and has a smaller pin-gridthan those other internal usb-PIN-connectors with cables to the frontof the case.I think I will now buy a PCIe USB3.0 card. Anything I should avoid? Anything you recommend? I found this: www.amazon.de/CSL-Express-Controller-SATA-Stromanschluss-Schnittstellenkarte/dp/B00OBACW0Gwhich seems to have some VLI chip on it. I haven't found anything usable in terms of vendor/product ID or such. 4 ports may be enough, for an external USB backup HD, the soundcard, and a video device, but for ~10 EUR difference...I've been using the CSL B00F9XGPTI XHCI 4-port card which works. I bought it on amazon.de, but I don't know whether it's still available.
I bought the one I had listed. Works. I did a short Amazon review which mentions FreeBSD.

It looks like this now (here the second uaudio device is attached): ---snip---ugen8.1: <0x1106 XHCI root HUB> at usbus8, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=SUPER (5.0Gbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA) ugen8.2: <vendor 0x2109 USB2.0 Hub> at usbus8, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (100mA) ugen8.3: <VIA Labs, Inc. USB2.0 Hub> at usbus8, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA) ugen8.4: <vendor 0x0d8c USB Sound Device> at usbus8, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA) ugen8.5: <VIA Labs, Inc. USB3.0 Hub> at usbus8, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=SUPER (5.0Gbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
---snip---What I don't understand is it tells spd=FULL, so the device is not doing faster as it theoretically can do on the mainboard-usb device. Why does it work better (no audio distortion when connected to the xhci device)?
I also tried 5.1 output (data goes via optical connection to the pre-amp/DAC). dev.pcm.2.bitperfect: 0 dev.pcm.2.buffersize: 0 dev.pcm.2.rec.vchanformat: s16le:2.0 dev.pcm.2.rec.vchanrate: 48000 dev.pcm.2.rec.vchanmode: fixed dev.pcm.2.rec.vchans: 1 dev.pcm.2.play.vchanformat: s16le:5.1 dev.pcm.2.play.vchanrate: 48000 dev.pcm.2.play.vchanmode: passthrough dev.pcm.2.play.vchans: 1Audio comes out of all 5 speakers, but somehow I have the impression I get the same output everywhere... I need to download a 5.1 test and see. But this is another issue now.
