This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_006E_01C19382.76DF1ED0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Is there a simple configuration program or simple way to install a = soundcard? I have spent hours reading the documentation and just go = around in circles. i.e " To use your sound device, you will need to load the proper device = driver. This may be accomplished in one of two ways. The easiest way is = to simply load a kernel module for your sound card with kldload(8). = Alternatively, you may statically compile in support for your sound card = in your kernel." Then it goes on about configuration=20 " If you have one of the above cards, you will need to add: device pcm" = and=20 " For a non-PnP ISA card, add: =20 device pcm=20 device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15" but then there is no information about how to do this or use this after = editing the configuration. Also the 'kldload' is this part of what I = have to do? There is no examples of how to use it in the docs. I am sorry to have to email you as I am sure that you get lots of this = sort of thing from new people but I am truly confused and need help? I = have decided to switch over to freeBSD as it performed much faster on my = PC than Linux but sound has been a real challenge for me which it was = not with Linux (in 3 different versions eg redhat, mandrake and debian) = and help will be greatly appreciated.
