FreeBSD 4.3-Stable [cvsupped ports/base about 3 days ago] SB 16 isa PnP Card. Compiled kernel with: device pcm device sbc0 at isa? etc etc [I don't have access to that pc now, look at LINT for specifics] config -g make depend ; make ; make install ; reboot cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV all ; ./MAKEDEV snd0 dmesg |grep pcm -- show the Soundblaster cat /dev/sndstat -- >> Show SB 16 4.13 So the card is found I boot into X, start xmms nada...... su to root, start xmms I get sound. in /dev/ audio/dsp/all other devices under 'man pcm' show as lrwxrwxrws and /dev/dsp0 [etc], are crw rw rw -- Yet only root can play sound. Another thing that is weird, when a user tries to use xmms, and play music.mp3, the time remaining just flies by.....xmms gives no error just no sound comes out of speakers. root it goes: 1..............2................3.................... user it goes: 1..2..3..4..5..6..7 Now I had sound with 4.2 Stable with: device snd device sb0 at isa? etc etc [See LINT again] but in LINT and in config -g -- it says not to use snd, but instead use pcm, so here I am [I since reinstalled to 4.2-R and CVSupped to 4.3-Stable] Any suggestions?? -- I'm about to make xmms suid root :) www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
