PNPBIOS is a kernel option. This is telling you that your BIOS is not correctly configuring your USB adapter; either you have USB turned off in your BIOS, or your BIOS 'PnP OS' option is set to YES. You'll note that's what it tells you. We spell things carefully for a reason; if it was telling you to remove the PNPBIOS option from your kernel config file, that's what it'd say. > ==> Your BIOS has, however, very kindly set it up in the extra-lame > ==> soundblaster emulation mode.

Can you change these values and have them work? If you tweak the 'cd' value, can you get any sound out of your external CDROM? You might also try catting something to /dev/audio to see if you get any noise at all. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
