I wanted to be helpful, so I wrote a HOWTO on how I got my SB Live working in -current and made it available to a few folks. I just assumed, since the branch from 4.0 was recent, that the sound drivers would be pretty much the same. Don't take me out to the tree for my hanging. I know it was a mistake to assume. I can assure you that it won't happen again. After seeing that Martin got his working in 4.0, but gave the steps he had to take to get the end result, I now feel like asshole extraordinaire. On the same note, it's shown several people that it DOES work. Depending on how bad you want it, you might want to run -current. 'cmon... everyone's doing it! ok.. so much for peer pressure. As for my add of the sbc line, it's the replacement for snd. I used this pcm/sbc combo for support of my AWE64 before I tried the SB Live. After I see that the waves have settled, I'll go back and re-write my HOWTO, and will probably end up wiping out a drive from another machine this weekend, just so i can go through the process of a 4.0 install and finalizing this once and for all. I apologize for all the confusion it may have caused. Now go enjoy your newly supported device! -Otter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
