Things are now working but, unfortunately, I have now idea why or how! Perhaps you can help answer these questions. Basically, I started by installing xmms to test whether I could get sound. I then did the MAKEDEV snd0 as you said. I got a /dev/sndstat, but was I supposed to get a /dev/snd0 as well? I didn't. OK, so I rebooted and restarted xmms. The esound driver seems to work without any adjustments. The OSS output driver has a device section. Should this be set this to /dev/sndstat? Basically, my confusion is I was expecting a /dev/snd0 but got a /dev/sndstat and don't understand what's going on. -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
