If audio is a problem, check the mixer(8) settings. > I have a similar system and have never been able to get the sound to work right. Oddly, realplayer works fine! But I can't play a wav and Gnome is silent. I did find a message in the archives that said that this could be fixed by booting Windows and then re-booting FreeBSD, but I don't have Windows available, so I have never been able to try it. The message said that once Windows had been started that the audio would work until the system lost power. Then you need to boot Windows again. Maybe this is not the problem, but, if you can boot Windows, it might fix the problem. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
