Hello all,
I'm working with Nik Clayton to update FAQ 3.15 to give a more comprehensive
list of sound cards known to work with FreeBSD. That's why I'm sending out
this template to this list. Please take the time to fill it out with
information regarding your sound card so that we can compile a better list
for posterity. I will do my best to keep the list current as FreeBSD evolves
(please send to me or cc: me along with the list--it'll be easier to filter
responses than grabbing them out of -hackers-digest :).
Please be as specific about makes, models, chipsets, etc. as you can. The
author of the first mail received regarding a specific sound card will be
listed as the contributor of that information (unless he/she does not want
his/her e-mail address listed :). Please note also that I would like
information about sound cards that do NOT work (as of yet) under FreeBSD if
anyone has experience with them.
Hopefully, this will go well and we will be able to branch out into other pieces
of supported/non-supported hardware in the future. Thank you.
Survey:
-------
1) The sound card make and model/chipset. Please be as specific as you can with
board rev numbers if possible. Please include wether the card is ISA or PCI.
2) FreeBSD version(s) it was tested with. List *all* versions of FreeBSD for
which you can verify that the sound card does/doesn't work (don't include
-BETA or -SNAP releases but dates on -STABLE and -CURRENT branches are
welcome).
3) Appropriate lines from your kernel config file / PNP setup. i.e. what did
you have to do to get this card working? Did you need patches not committed
to a particular branch (if so URLs would be welcome)? Do you use OSS drivers
instead?
4) Sample dmesg output for properly configured device. Show the world what
boot messages relate to the device after properly configured.
5) Miscellaneous notes. State anything "not obvious" to the casual FreeBSD
user. Good examples might be, "volume is 0 by default, use mixer(1) to
adjust at boot time," or "sh MAKEDEV snd1 for the 1st device, not snd0."
6) Is it OK to publish your e-mail address / name as the contributor of this
information? You may type in an anti-spam version of your e-mail address
below if you would like that option instead.
