USB soundcard wont work

Hello

I have installed FreeBSD 9.1rc1, and I have a usb soundcard which is generic AFAIK.

When I plug it in, dmesg shows this

Code: 
ugen0.5: <M2Tech> at usbus0
uaudio0: <M2Tech USB Audio 2.0> on usbus0
uaudio0: No playback.
uaudio0: No recording.
uaudio0: No midi sequencer.

$ cat /dev/sndstat
Code: 
roberth@R2D2:/home/roberth % cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Realtek ALC889 (Rear Analog)> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <Realtek ALC889 (Front Analog)> (play/rec)

The realtek card is intergrated to motherboard.

Why can't FreeBSD use the usb soundcard?
 
Have you tried # sysctl hw.snd.default_auto=1 and inserting the soundcard?
 
Did exactly what you wrote,

Code: 
ugen0.5: <M2Tech> at usbus0 (disconnected)
uaudio0: at uhub2, port 6, addr 5 (disconnected)
ugen0.5: <M2Tech> at usbus0
uaudio0: <M2Tech USB Audio 2.0> on usbus0
uaudio0: No playback.
uaudio0: No recording.
uaudio0: No midi sequencer.

Internal soundcard works great.
 
I think Hans gave you a hint on freebsd-multimedia@?

The card is suposed to be 100 % usb 2.0 compliant.

Just because it's bus is compliant that doesn't mean the device itself is recognized.

I seriously doubt the manufacturer makes FreeBSD drivers.
