When I build sound into the kernel, OR load the snd_driver, I don't get my driver loaded all the way. Or do I? If I do a pciconf -l -v , I can see an entry for the card, but it appears to be unconfigured. The entry shows none1@pci (blah blah), I see a /dev/sndstat, and if I cat that, I see two lines: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2007061600/i386) Installed Drivers: (Nothing after the installed drivers) So, correct my thinking please.... The Probe for the PCI bus is working, and the hardware is found. However, there is no "driver" attached to the sound system. (during kernel boot, via dmesg it says "no driver attached") Then, when I load the driver (or try to) I fail to get an interface to my sound system. Is this because: a.) The snd_driver doesn't work for my sound card (CS5536) b.) The snd_driver should work, but I need to manually configure, or edit some file (pci_config? / device.hints) to configure or "attach" my driver to the hardware? c..) I need to write a new driver, starting with driver snd_xxx ? d.) Pfft, what a retard, go read (insert URL) e.) Other Any ideas please? -- ============================== Larry P.
