Hello all...I was pointed here by a fellow member/friend, and I have some silly questions...
I just bought a chaintech av-710, and I really love it....but my desktop os of choice is FreeBSD (http://freebsd.org) and I cannot get any of the default sound drivers in FreeBSD 5.3-Stable (latest sources as of one month ago)
So I booted up knoppix quick, and after much fiddling around, I got the card working, using the optical output (to my logitech Z680's), and the thing sounds damn good....
So I was wondering if anybody here knows any tips on getting this thing working with freebsd....
anywys heres some quick questions....and sorry if they are dumb, I am googling right as I type this, but I wanted the opinion of the smart people on these boards
1) Can I use the alsa sound output plugin with xmms on freebsd?
2) how do i know what DAC I am using on the card (it has two??...or im a bit confused)
3)Any good suggestions of reading about this card...I have read threads on this board saying that the card has great features and potential...but I am kind of a sound n00b....
Anyways, I hope these questions aren't too stupid, its kind of late haha so they might sound pretty dumb.
thanks in advance for any help or opinions!
