A reasonably painless way to determine which one you need is to build LINT (cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf;make LINT), then add every device named snd_something in LINT to your kernel config. Rebuild the kernel, reboot, "grep pcm /var/run/dmesg.boot". If you have one, "cat /dev/sndstat" and then you should be able to work out which of the snd_ devices you actually require. If you still don't have a pcm device then your card is unsupported. If you don't want to go through all that, guess which device you need. Is it a VIA sound chipset? If so, it's probably snd_via8233 that you need. And so on. > I have even attempted to # sh MAKEDEV snd0 and also pcm0, etc...
