As you might have guessed, "sound" dir is for snd0 and "snd" is pcm0 go into the snd dir and look at CARDS and README. It explains how to configure pnp devices more then enough to get them running. Btw, I assumed you knew how to handle /boot/kernel.conf and /boot/loader.conf since these are very basic stuffs :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
