Re: Creative Soundblaster Live and FreeBSD 5.1-Release
Thanks for the information, I've got oss now for evaluation. I was wondering if anybody knows of any quality sound cards that are well supported in FreeBSD (one that has bass/treble controls from the pcm driver, or another currently maintained driver)?

Any information would be appreciated. Your best bet for full featured drivers is http://www.opensound.com/ That's the only way under FreeBSD (that I know of) that you'll get a full featured mixer (with bass / treble control) and rear outputs properly. There are two developers that I know of that are trying to create a better Audigy driver for FreeBSD 5.x that will have bass and treble control, but other than that... The Linux ALSA Project is the only project I know of currently that has fairly good support for front + rear outputs for the Creative Series of cards. Personally, I've never cared for ALSA, and am somewhat distraught that many future 'free' applications may use the ALSA API instead of the OSS API, putting many of us out in the cold figuratively speaking. Obviously, most of these applications are open source in one way or another and can be ported to OSS, but I digress... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
