next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Have had FreeBSD 4.1 installed for a bit over a month now; my first Unix. Have installed some packages - XFree86 4.0.1 a couple of nights ago was my first successful upgrade of installed software. Have compiled & installed custom kernel a number of times. So that's the general state of my "skill level." I have a SB PCI 16 sound card (sold OEM in some Gateway boxes as SB PCI 64D, a/k/a Ensoniq Audio PCI or something like that). Get constant bkgd static-type noise, which can be minimized by fiddling with speaker wires but never goes away. Also, moving my cursor makes a sound like a small motorboat. Would a different audio driver help? I've been looking at ALSA and OSS stuff for Linux. Will Linux drivers work with FreeBSD? Where should a new audio driver be installed? Or is the solution a lot simpler and more basic? TIA, Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
