Yes it's keyed correctly for the PCI-X bus but It turns out that Creative changed the chipset to Audigy LS and it's not %100 compatible with EMU10k1/3, I have major doubts that FreeBSD supports this chipset: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&q=group%3A*.freebsd.*+%22Audigy+LS%22&qt_s=Search Talk to hal because he did buy one. He posted a message saying that he was having trouble with it. I answered it telling him to put snd_driver_load="YES" into loader.conf but he never replied back to say if it worked or not. I just compiled a list, based on the photos, of sound cards, on newegg.com, that are keyed for PCI-X and PCI 32-bit / 66Mhz buses, I make no guaranties!!: CREATIVE Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit 30SB041000000 $29 <-- Audigy LS Chipset!!!
