Quoting Caleb Walker <cwalker@cwalk.org>: [000911 19:57]: Caleb Walker>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Caleb Walker> Caleb Walker>Look through the FreeBSD web site, all the info you need is there... Caleb Walker>http://www.freebsd.org This is being unfair to the guys!! I suppose you better not write if you've nothing to assist with. This is a very important forum where everyone, including you, Mr Walker, comes for help. This is a Windows fellow. Don't be hard on him. Help him if you can or just better not say anything. ### Hi Windows User, In FreeBSD, they do not install drivers like we do in Windows. All you have to do is to make sure the card you want to use is supported by FreeBSD. You can find out that in a file /sys/i386/conf/LINT. If you find that yours appears there, you'll then recompile support for it in the KERNEL. That is something like you make a copy of the file called GENERIC. cp GENERIC MY_MACHINE_NAME then edit the new file name using a atext editor like vi or ee or pico the lines you have to add will depend on what you get from LINT and the output of dmesg as regards your device. Please send us a copy of your dmesg, especially the portion that seems to talk about your sound card and some good guys in here will endeavor to help you out. Only remember they cannot make guesses. You may start with telling us what you used to call your sound card in Windows...
