Even though my understanding is that this card, which is branded as "Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy FX" and its model is SB1570 isn't necessary supported, I thought I'd inquire on what hda is reporting and see if there is maybe something I'm doing wrong and the card will actually work in FreeBSD:
(pcm3 is USB webcam's microphone)
I can't think of anything else to attach. There is no sound if I play a CD, there was a faint something when I tried to send noise to /dev/dsp but very faint. I saw a bug a while in HDA that was misrecognizing some other card in a similar manner, am I witnessing a similar situation or am I just misconfiguring something?
I'd also be willing to spend some time getting this card to work, as in writing a driver for it, even as an academic exercise.
Thanks for any help in advance.
