I have bought the official version of FreeBSD 3.2 and tried to get the = sound to work but it doesn't. I tried 4Front's software but that = doesn't work either. I get messages that I can't configure /dev/dsp: = device is busy all of the time. Somtimes I can't "allocate 32768 M " = problems. After reading a how-to on AWE (I have a SoundBlaster AWE64 = PnP) sound cards http://members.home.net/conrads/awepnp-freebsd.html, it = still doesn't work. Then, 4Front said I should try FreeBSD 3.3 but it = still doesn't work. I do get an error when I tried using awe0 at 0x620: = device is not found when the computer boots. I wonder if that is = hanging the computer. Also, your boot cdrom (3.3) doesn't boot. 3.2 does though. I don't = know if you are aware of it. In addition, everytime I reboot, my master = boot record gets erase to know which partition is made active. I have = to boot into dos and fdisk to make the mbr active. These problems I = didn't have with 3.2. Thanks in advance, Rick =20 ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BF0B4A.6C8E1700 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>Hi!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I have bought the official version = of FreeBSD=20 3.2 and tried to get the sound to work but it doesn't.
