The intelligence behind the O/S is what amazes me...lol I haven't been following this thread so I may be jumping in out of order, but a comment on this post. You would not do a mkdir of anything in /dev. That directory is a special one for devices. acd0 is a device, for example. You want to mount this device to a mount point. To make a /cdrom mount mount, you would probably want to do mkdir cdrom in root, eg. cd / mkdir cdrom Then do something like mount /dev/acd0 /cdrom or probably more like: mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom But, that is for looking at files in a file system way. Probably, for sound, you don't want to mount the cd at all. I had sound in a FreeBSD 3.xxx a long time ago, but haven't bothered in several years with more recent version. So things may well have changed. I believe you do still need to have your kernel built with 'device snd'. Check in: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT or its 5.xxx equivalent (I don't have a 5.xxx handy at the moment to look at). ////jerry > > >From: Toomas Aas <toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee> > >To: Michael Neeff <cool_mike_21@hotmail.com> > >CC: questions@freebsd.org > >Subject: Re: Can't play CD / mount CDROM > >Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 23:23:13 +0300 > > > >Hi Michael! > > > >I was hoping someone can give you a more definite answer, but it seems > >no-one knowledgeable has responded, so here are my comments, worth exactly > >what you paid for them :) > > > >>I've been trying since the past couple of days to get my sound back... it > >>all started when I followed the steps from the manual in setting up > >>statically sound drivers for my old Compaq DeskPro EN series...for FreeBSD > >>5.3.
