I just did an installation of FreeBSD 5.3. I folowed the steps in the FreeBSD "Handbook" about sound cards and have the sound driver loading at boot time as a loadable module. I can check the status of it OK: $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> at io 0xef40 irq 16 kld snd_emu10k1 (4p/2r/0v channelsduplex default) Also, when I log in via kdm and I get a nice little tune played as KDE starts up. However, I can't seem to get any of my video players, xine or aviplay to get any sound to come out. I seem to be running devfs: $ df /dev Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev I can't say I really understand the devfs "magic", but here are the devs listed in /dev, I've added them at the end of this email if that helps. What am I doing wrong that allows the device to be probed and kdm to play a nice tune as kde comes up when I log in, but noen of my video players can get any sound? Any advice appreciated. It was working fine on same machine when I was running 4.x.
