Thanks for posting this, I've been having one hell of a time getting the sound to work. I've added the above line to my config and rebuilt and installed the kernel. I'm getting feedback out of the speakers but nothing else. Is there something that I might want to do in /dev to make this play nice? I had my machine configured to work with the OSS sound drivers but that proved to not work so well. I get the following from /dev/sndstat: trurl# cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (981022) Nov 27 1998 20:56:33 Installed devices: pcm0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.2> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 0:0 and I did a ./MAKEDEV snd0 as well. What else might I look at? Colin E.
