Vi=F1as http://edwin.ontheweb.com KDE looks for sound card support when starting up. The default installatio= n=20 of FreeBSD 4.8 does not have sound card support compiled in the kernel. If= =20 you have not added sound card support to the kernel configuration and=20 compiled a custom kernel, there is no sound card support for KDE to find. If you have a PCI sound card, it is likely that adding 'device pcm' to = the=20 kernel configuration file will work. For kernel configuration and=20 compilation instructions, see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html Best of luck, Andrew Gould
