I have an MSI B360M Mortar motherboard running freeBSD 11.2. Looking at the available info for sound implementation I see that most are implemented for dedicated NOT on board codecs. I don't know which would apply for my m/b specs, which are as follows;
Realtek ALC892 codec
7.1-Channel High Definition Audio
Supports S/PDIF output
The reference to sound cards in "7.2 setting up the sound card" (hardware list 7 for v12, with their drivers) seems to cater only for relatively old sound cards. If I go down that path I need pcie compatibility. If, on the other hand, I want to use the available onboard sound how do I assess what drivers I need with the scant info available. The latter is my preference, if possible.
I don't want to spend a lot of time on this I just want usable sound. What would be your recommendation? Thanks a lot.
