The Advanced Gravis Ultrasound MAX *is* the card for doing sound work on FreeBSD. The API is included as part of the sound driver. rah-star.gate.com:/pub/sound.v30.5.tar.gz ftp://ftp.cs.uwm.edu/pub/FreeBSD/sound.v30.5.tar.gz To build the sound driver: cd /sys/i386/isa mv sound sound.old tar -xzf sound.v30.5.tar.gz Here is my bit on the system config file for the GUS MAX: controller snd0 device gus0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 12 drq 3 flags 1 vector gusintr drq 3 is the dma for playback flags 1 is the dma for recording By far Jim Lowe is the technical guru on the sound driver and GUS. If you get a chance hook up your GUS MAX to a nice stereo and play doom or descent --- trust me you will not be disappointed. Regards, Amancio
