You can go into /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/isa.c (?) and kill the printf if it bugs you. This has been incorporated into the system, and should have made it into 2.2.2 if you remembered to rebuild your kernel. > Apart from that it seems to work, playing every kind of sound file > (except midi) but sometimes rather jerkily.

At least with the GUS PnP, the DOS setup utility checks the settings to make sure they're available. > Bonus question on MIDI setup: > > How can I get midis to play audibly?

Where/how does the gus look for its patches in > FreeBSD? At least with the GUS PnP (I realize you have a basic GUS but...), the patches came on a CDROM which had to be installed under DOS. Then you copy the patches over to /dos/ultrasnd/midi and playmidi will pick them up and load them. Of course, you have to have as much memory as you can pack on the card (1mb on the old GUSs I think).
