I've found that FreeBSD so far has supported every odd sound card I've thrown its way. Even (especially!) those on-board sound things built into motherboards and laptops these days. FreeBSD supports them all (and Windows usually doesn't without the special CD-Rom from the motherboard manufacturer.) Just add "device pcm" to the end of the kernel conf file, build a new kernel, and I'll bet almost any sound card will work on reboot. This question has been answered many times on this question list. You would have found your answer if you had searched the questions archive like you are supposed to do before posting here. No sound card will work without this kernel device added. You have more than enough HD space to compile the kernel. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Tadimeti Keshav Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 10:22 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: is my sound card supported? HI I have a digital PC 5000. It is an old model. It came with windows and thus I made out the sound card to be CRYSTAL WDM Audio COdec. How can I enable sound? I would not like to recompile as I only have 2.1 GB of HDD. better to lead kernel module. I am attachjing dmesg. TIA ===== -- K E S H A V T A D I M E T I -- Linux Airlines Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?" ____________________________________________________________________ ____ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
