I tried sh MAKEDEV pcm from the /dev directory (sort of like sh MAKEDEV snd0?) > make sure you add: device pcm device sbc (not sbc0) then recompile the kernel. before rebooting cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV snd0 yes, snd0. if that's not working, try snd1. you can run /usr/sbin/mixer to make sure that your volume is set high enough. on my sb live, i don't get vol control, so i just set the pcm variable to 100 and it's good. i think the sb16/awe cards all give you vol control though. after rebooting to your kernel with the support added in now, it should work fine. if not, check the output of /dev/sndstat and make sure it shows the card you have. also, if you have problems, go back to your dmesg output and make sure there's no hardware conflicts if it's not working. -Otter p.s. should the dma2 be set to 6? i seem to remember 5, but i never used jumpers on mine... > Help! > > Thanks, > > Will > mailto:wsenn@postfuture.com > > Will Senn > Senior Software Engineer, R&D > Postfuture, Inc. > Voice: (972) 789-1990 ext.232 > Fax: (972) 991-8446 > mailto:wsenn@postfuture.com > http://www.postfuture.com > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
