I did what you said, i removed all the added lines from my kernel.conf and from my loader.rc and from my kernel. I had alrdy in my kernel controller pnp0 so that was okay. I also added...... like you said: device pcm0 at isa? port? tty drq 1 irq 5 flags 0x15 Now at booting i get this: Jul 7 16:08:54 Mipam /kernel: Probing for PnP devices: Jul 7 16:08:55 Mipam /kernel: CSN 1 Vendor ID: CTL00c5 [0xc5008c0e] Serial 0x01bedb0c Comp ID: PNPb02f [0x2fb0d041] Jul 7 16:08:55 Mipam /kernel: This is a SB16 PnP, but LDN 0 is disabled I started x11amp and tryed to play a mp3 but i got again: Unable to open audio device......... SO still after all possbile and very different solutions i recieved.... nothing seems to work..... What can i do and will my awe 64 ever work?
