My problem is my system will not play mp3's now. I don't want to buy opensounds drivers just to play an mp3 (when my CD player -ascd - works fine). I have , don't laugh, a vibra16 SB , those big old ISA's. now, from my kernel, I've configured it ( the only way could get it) as: controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 10 drq 3 device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 7 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x388 ***** the midi is configured incorrectly, but, I'm not too concerned, since I hate midi. if it's a problem, please point it out :-) ****** I did the usual > cd /dev sh MAKEDEV /dev/snd0 > cat /dev/sndstat VoxWare Sound Driver:3.5-alpha15-970902 (Wed Aug 6 22:58:35 PDT 1997 Amancio Hasty@rah.star-gate.com) Config options: Installed drivers: Type 2: SoundBlaster Type 6: SoundBlaster16 Type 7: SB16 MIDI Card config: SoundBlaster at 0x220 irq 10 drq 3 SoundBlaster16 at 0xffffffff irq 1 drq 7 (SB16 MIDI at 0x388 irq 1) Audio devices: 0: SoundBlaster 16 4.13 Synth devices: Midi devices: Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: 0: SoundBlaster I also remember doing in /dev , sh MAKEDEV /dev/snd0 once before and somehow my system lost it ( I think it may be due to power problems, but, it's worth mentioning ,just in case). oh yeah, and if at anytime, any one of new folks ever doubt you can get a job anywhere with FreeBSD knowledge, don't despair. I kinda fell into one last week. I get to run Nameservers for a NT based Broadband Entertainment company that has over 800,000 unique hits a day (or two). Thank God I've stuck with FreeBSD for the last few years. I've played with the various Linux dists and have to honestly say that none of them come close to the logical structure that FreeBSD provides. rc. whatever1-3, run level this! sorry, i've had to change my sleep schedule and woke up way too early thanks, Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
