Audio CDs may already work (assuming your mixer defaults to sane values).

I believe there is > also a driver called "device opl". Is that necessary? If it's going to work, then it will work by just adding "device pcm" to the kernel. A quicker and easier way might be to run "kldload snd_pcm" as root. To see if it worked, run dmesg immediatly afteward and look for the pcm: xxxxxx messages. If it says something like: pcmN: <OPL3-SA3> port blah irq blah at device blah on blah then it worked. You will most likely have to build the audio devices as well. Just cd /dev and run ./MAKEDEV sndN where N is the same as was displayed on the pcm line in the dmesg. You can see what your card can do then by typing cat /dev/sndstat You can change the mixer settings by running mixer(8). Good luck. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
