Having more than 1 audio device in any hardware config is not a
normal config. I know it because I have two PCI sound card but they
are very well supported and work. Support for hardware is always
contingent upon it being fairly common and not some oddball 4th party
fly-by-night hardware. What is the make and model of this USB audio
device you have? If you remove it from the equation and only use your
Analog Devices sound device, do you get audio? BSD does not support
every audio device on the planet and doesn't have the breadth of
driver support and developers to do so. Contact the developers of BSD
and ask if they can better support your device if it is not already
in their list of supported audio devices. After all, I understand
that since 8.1 switched to Alsa for Audio, if it ain't supported by
Alsa, it probably ain't worth supporting period. See if it is
supported by Alsa too. Try a live Linux distro and see if it works there.
