Since that is where the "knowledge source" of FreeBSD resides. Never once have I seen a reference that you looked into the Handbook under Multimedia, "16.2 Setting Up The Sound Card". The Sound Blaster AWE64 IS listed! Why don't you try this link: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html and get back to us on your success. leegold wrote: >>Have you tried to load the sound device modules instead?
