It said to use sbc and pcm like the current handbook on the web does. I also checked my bios. My bios has an option called 'PnP OS Installed' which is set to 'no' Nothing seems to work. I just redid the kernel again, checked my dmesg again and nothing seems to think the card is there. My handbook with my distribution doesn't have a sound section at all. I'm running 4.0-RELEASE. I checked the man pages which support the sbc and pcm device configuration as well. Is there anything else that can be set wrong? Everything I check (man pages, handbook, mailing lists, etc) says I did it right, yet it doesn't work. :( thanks banksw@sunyit.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
