I have this Creative Soundblaster (Audio PCI 128) and I have a kernel compiled with "device pcm" and dmesg tells me this: alouette# dmesg | grep pcm pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371> port 0xec00-0xec3f irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 ....yes and I go into /dev and here are the results...hmmm alouette# sh MAKEDEV snd0 alouette# ls -al snd0 ls: snd0: No such file or directory alouette# ls -al snd* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7 Jan 9 17:21 snd1 -> sndstat crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 6 Jan 15 20:10 sndstat alouette# What could the problem be with me then??? Or am I just imagining my own things?
