I've got this board and I see this... # dmesg | grep pcm pcm0: port 0xe400-0xe403,0xe000-0xe003,0xdc00-0xdcff irq 7 at device 7.5 on pci0 ...and this... # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Dec 21 2001 14:11:39 Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0xdc00 irq 7 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex) ...but sound doesn't seem to be working. When I use splay to try to play an mp3 I get this... $ splay -v The_Zambonis_-_I_Wanna_Drive_The_Zamboni.mp3 The_Zambonis_-_I_Wanna_Drive_The_Zamboni.mp3: Cannot open /dev/dsp or /dev/sound/dsp! splay: Failed to open sound device. I've got "device pcm" in my kernel config file and have done a "cd /dev; sh ./MAKEDEV snd0". Is anything else required to get sound on this board working? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Frazier Tel: 302-239-5900 Ext. 231 Systems Administrator Fax: 302-239-3909 MAGPAGE, We Power the Internet WWW: http://www.magpage.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.
