I just want to play back MP3's through >mpg123. Right first thing is do you mean an AWE32 or one of the pci variants, either the procedure should be the same since both are PnP, id just have to be realy jealous if it was an awe :D Anyway, going by the handbook you'll need to add the lines device pcm device sbc to you're kernal config file and then recompile you're kernal to include support for you're card, once you;ve installed the newley compiled kernel and rebooted do "dmesg | grep pcm" and you should have a like annoucing the devices initialisation (should, lovley word that). If pcm was initilised properly then you should only need to do the following to finish the job cd /dev sh MAKEDEV snd0 After then launch mpg123 and see if it worked. Mind you im no expert, i only did this for the first time 2 weeks ago :D -- Mike Woods WoA SE Webmonkey & General Dogsbody Amiga North Thames Webmaster & Games Co- ordinator ------------------------------------------------------------------- World Of Amiga SE - http://www.worldofamiga.com Amiga North Thames - Http://www.AmigaNorthThames.co.uk HomePage - Http://www.planetheck.co.uk/~damnation Micronik Busboards Support - Http://www.microniksupport.n3.net ICQ uin - 86410172 MSN Addy - X_satan_666@hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
