This loads all the sound > drivers...then go from there Ok i have done a kldload snd_driver and it recognises it perfectly. Got Ac97 and ID and memory info etc on the dmesg line. However nothing actually comes out of the speaker. I am using gnome. It asked me to run esd which i did, and esd program didn't return my prompt. I left it, and even after a reboot it was avaliable in my "Multimedia Selector" which also lets you run a test on output. I got no sound from speakers, or from connecting to external speaker/headphones. Also tested CD's, which I could see the program were "playing" but nothing coming out. However when I open "Volume Control" it is set to "OSS - Null" and not esd. Could this be causing a problem? I did play around with OSS at one stage trying to get it work. Is there any other way to test the device? By the was, the speakers themselves are turned up, as well as the Volume control in gnome. It seems strange as the driver recognises the sound device perfectly (i added snd_driver_load=3D"YES" to /boot/loader.conf and that works too) but yet there is no sound. Any ideas?? Thanks very much for the help so far.
