Hi, I have a few questions regarding sound cards and OpenBSD, in particular the Dell Sound Blaster Live! I seem to have been lumped with.
Is it really completely unsupported as this[1] post seems to indicate? If it's unsupported why does the kernel seem to think that it is? Bug? The card was actually bought as a replacement for my motherboards built-in card (auvea) which hasn't worked as long as i can remember and doesn't look like it's going to be fixed anytime soon[2]. Is anybody aware of any (basic) sound card I can buy and be reasonably confident it will work? Please CC any replies as I'm not subscribed. Thanks.
