I'm not expecting someone to solve my problems, just gimme something to work with. I _have_ read all of the sound related stuff in "The complete FreeBSD", so I think I need something else... The sound related stuff in dmesg is : "sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa Hmm... Could this be an ESS688 based card (rev 11) NOTE! SB Pro support required with your soundcard! snd0: " My kernel config file has this stuff in it, which i think should be appropriate: "controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1" When I recently played a system sound, I got a small beep (not from the system speaker, but really from the speakers attached to the sound board) and a bunch of errors saying: "Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

[...I think you've gotten _that_ by now!]" The following error used to pop up when I start X, but this no longer happens(!): "maudio: cannot open audio device" (Like I said, I don't get this now...for some reason...) I have tried, in /dev/ : "# ./MAKEDEV snd0" ...but when I then proceed to: "# ls -l | grep snd0" , snd0 isn't there! How can this be? When I recently played a system sound, I got a small beep and abunch of errors saying: "Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
