Anyway, I don't have a sound card. I have Matsonic ms8127c mother board that comes w/ sound support. I ran kldload snd.ko, but it didn't seem to do anything to my dmesg. It certainly didn't say anything about pcm. I've tried working through your insructions along w/ the hand book, but I really haven't been able to sort anything out. I guess I don't really understand how audio works in BSD. It seemed to me that all the instructions on the net seem to be for systems w/ sound cards, and I don't know they would change for systems w/o cards. ~ Desmond >From: David Kelly >To: desmond james >CC: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Re: Configuring sound >Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2003 15:54:30 -0600 > >On Fri, Feb 28, 2003 at 09:17:19PM +0000, desmond james wrote: > > >This is a fairly recent FreeBSD?
