It's trying to open the ALSA device named "default" that would map to device node /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p if you were running Linux. Until ALSA has been ported to FreeBSD, you'd better use OSS. :-) > OSS showed Calls: /dev/dsp, and grayed out Ringing: /dev/dsp. I would guess that it could open /dev/dsp for writing but not for reading. Does the driver even support this? > I tried that but get the same "cannot find" messages on the console. You shouldn't get ALSA messages when using OSS. Regards, Clemens
