Try inserting a CD and running "cdcontrol" I found "cdcontrol" on my own last night, and gave it a try. It seemed to be reasonably happy -- it could recognize the tracks on CDs, knew how long each one was, and could be told to play a particular track. There was only one little problem: it never produced any *sound* (aside, that is, from the purely machanical whirring of the active CD drive... ) > 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.

I checked the "/modules" directory, and found nothing named "snd_pcm". I looked in "/dev" and found neither "opl" nor "pcm". I also looked in "/usr/src/sys/dev", and couldn't find "opl" or "pcm" there, either. I did, however, find something named "sound", but didn't feel up to messing with it without further advice. - J.
