This is my first post on this forum so I hope you can all tolerate my n00b-ness ^^
I decided to make the plunge and switch over to FreeBSD from Linux. One of my boxes has no integrated sound card and no open slots for a PCI card, so my alternative was a (very) cheap C-Media USB sound card. It works fine in Windows and alright in Linux, it even worked in a PC-BSD install I had for a while. But now with a fresh FreeBSD install I cannot get it to work at all. The system seems to not recognize it as a sound card but it is recognized as being there. I compiled OSS from ports which I expected to work (as this is what was on PC-BSD) but alas, it did not.
cat /dev/sndstat outputs
and ossinfo outputs
Any idea how to fix this? If all else fails I guess I can try to get a regular sound card that will fit in one of my PCI-X slots.. Thanks for any help!
