Newer versions allow you to kldload the drivers, without rebooting and without building a new kernel...older versions require you to build a new kernel and reboot. If I recall, all 4.x versions will require a kernel recompile, 5.x doesnt. If supported, simply execute as root: kldload snd_driver And this will load /all/ supported drivers for all cards. It's likely that one of these will work. :) You can add the following to /boot/loader.conf to do this at boot time: snd_driver_load=YES Or, follow the directions in man pcm: For a card with bridge driver support, and a PnP card: device pcm So, add device pcm to your kernel config file. After building and booting the new kernel (see the Handbook for how to do this): cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV snd0 to create the devices. ...david --- david raistrick http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html drais@atlasta.net http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
