Hello, I first tried FreeBSD (4.2) this summer to turn an old PC into a server for a small intranet in my classroom, and have been so impressed with its stability and general goodness that I want to try it as a desktop OS. To that end, I now have FreeBSD 4.4 installed on another old PC, a 266 MHz Pentium II with an Intel PD440FX motherboard and 48MB of memory. This machine has a Creative Labs Soundblaster AWE64 sound card (ISA) installed. According to dmesg, FreeBSD knows about the card and there appear to be no conflicts. However I can't use the sound card because I don't know how to configure it. Can anyone tell me how to go about configuring the AWE64 under FreeBSD 4.4? The FreeBSD handbook mentions that there are some kind of loadable kernel modules for sound card support, but doesn't explain how to use them or which module is correct for my soundcard. Rather it explains how to compile soundcard support into your kernel, an adventure I am not yet ready for!
