You should really check out the handbook. I did this same thing on tuesday and was done in under an hour. There's a whole chapter called "Sound". Here's a quote and link to the Sound section called "Creating and Testing the Device Nodes": http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x14152.html -mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- # cd /dev # sh MAKEDEV snd0 If the command returned pcm1, follow the same steps as shown above, replacing snd0 with snd1. Note: The above commands will not create a /dev/snd device! MAKEDEV will create a group of device nodes, including: Device Description /dev/audio SPARC-compatible audio device /dev/dsp Digitized voice device /dev/dspW Like /dev/dsp, but 16 bits per sample /dev/midi Raw midi access device /dev/mixer Control port mixer device /dev/music Level 2 sequencer interface /dev/sequencer Sequencer device /dev/pss Programmable device interface If all goes well, you should now have a functioning sound card. If you do not, read the next section. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
