I can't seem to find anything on boot.conf....:( > Do you have /dev/ mixer0|sequencer0|etc?? If not, then yes, you have to cd to /dev and sh MAKEDEV snd0 to create these devices in /dev. If they are already there then the kernel is simply not detecting them with the settings that you have assigned them. It could also be PNP getting in the way. Send me your boot messages (dmesg) and I'll try to sort it out for you. -- Regards | _/\_/\ Andrew Johns BSc (Comp Sci) | / \ TurnAround Solutions Pty Ltd | \_...__/ http://www.turnaround.com.au/ | \/ "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better,' so I installed FreeBSD."
