Well, that settles that. OSS didn't work. BSD appears to be detecting the card, but won't load it, and no driver file - including OSS - works. It looks like I'll have to yank this sound card in favor of another one.
Will a standard, off-the-shelf, commercially packaged Sound Blaster 5.1 card work in FreeBSD? Even an X-Fi one? I ask because X-Fi cards seem to be the norm on the market these days.
What about a card that uses EAX? (Rocketfish, for example.) I didn't see EAX in the loader.conf file, so I'm skeptical.
In short, I'm not going to buy a new sound card unless it works in FreeBSD. Can anyone suggest one? Hopefully one that won't break my budget?
