Hi Michael! I was hoping someone can give you a more definite answer, but it seems=20 no-one knowledgeable has responded, so here are my comments, worth=20 exactly what you paid for them :) > I've been trying since the past couple of days to get my sound back... = > it all started when I followed the steps from the manual in setting up = > statically sound drivers for my old Compaq DeskPro EN series...for=20 > FreeBSD 5.3. I included the "snd_sbc" driver, since when I kldload=20 > snd_driver it comes up as ESS 1869 in my kernel file (MYKERNEL).. I als= o=20 > included the line "device sound" in the MYKERNEL (customized kernel Chp= =2E=20 > 7) for some reason it doesn't work when I want to run mpg123... The above stuff seems roughly correct. That's how I built sound into=20 kernel on my home PC, but I'm not at that PC now so I can't check my=20 kernel config. What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? Do you get an error message? Or=20 simply nothing happens? In the latter case, check your mixer settings,=20 speaker volume knob and physical connections. After building sound into kernel, you can also remove the relevant=20 module loading lines from /boot/loader.conf, but I think that even if=20 you left them in it shouldn't prevent sound from working - you would=20 just get an error message saying something to the tune of "file already=20 exists", meaning that the functionality for which you are trying to load = the module is already included in the kernel. > ...Anyways this is the least of my problems. I now comment the lines:=20 > device snd_sbc, device sound recomplie the kernel and keep getting=20 > cd9660: device /dev/acd0 Input/Ouput error when I try to mount any of m= y=20 > CDs... (music or data)=20 You shouldn't try to mount music CDs since they don't contain any=20 filesystem that can be mounted. The error message above is exactly what=20 you get when you try to mount an audio CD. Mounting data CDs should=20 work, though. Does the command 'grep acd0 /var/run/dmesg.boot' contain any text? > I've tried : mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom and several other=20 > combinations : > mount cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom; mount cd9660; mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0=20 > /cdrom; mount /cdrom - still the same thing... At least *some* of the above commands should work ;-) > I even tried loading my old kernel (GENERIC) from=20 > /boot/kernel.old/kernel (Btw, is this the same as the last recompile of= =20 > MYKERNE?L... I think I have compiled 3/4 times by now in the hopes that= =20 > this would work) Yes, every time you build an install new kernel, the previous kernel is=20 copied to kernel.old and previous kernel.old is wiped out. So it is well = possible that you don't even have the original kernel with which things=20 worked on your system any more. > HELP - I'm a newbie... I've got almost everything working with KDE=20 > 3.3...and now back to this. I was so happy when I could run cdcontrol=20 > from the command line and now I'm :o( frustrated !! One more thing you could try is to get the GENERIC kernel from e.g.=20 installation CDs and boot with that. --=20 Toomas Aas -------------------------------------------------------- |arvutiv=F5rgu peaspetsialist | head specialist on computer networks| |Tartu Linnakantselei | Tartu City Office | ----------------------------------------------------- +372 736 1274
