Well, At this very moment I utilise a M-Audio 5.1 PCI-audio board with which I'm really satisfied. My next box doesn't have PCI slots at all (ASUS P6T6-WS Revolution) and due to the fact I'm using Windows 7 sometimes for recreational gaming, I'd like to have a moderate expensive audio board with the workstation which is supported by FreeBSD 8/9. In the past - means two or three ywars ago, I had problems with Soundblaster PCIe boards, so I was recommended avoiding those and choosing the more elabotrated M-Audio cards for the PCI bus. At this moment, I look for the Soundblaster X-Fi range of PCIe cards, but I'm not sure whether they are supported by FreeBSd 8/9. Any suggestions? Regards, Oliver
