Dear freeBSD.org, Dear freeBSD.org, I have recently installed freeBSD on a partition on my primary hard disk, which also runs windows 98. I have set up most of my other hardware (with alot of my friend's help), but neither of us could get my sound to co-operate. It is a Creative Soundblaster 16 (ISA). My friend know's his UNIX a whole lot better than me, and he tried just about everything he could think of, he runs a machine with a PCI soundcard, and his auto-detects it on start-up, as far as i can see 'pcm' is not initialized, on start-up it displays neither a failure or success message. in my config file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf the line reads "device pcm", and we tried the line "device pcm0 at isa? ...etc" but to no avail. i am not sure what the problem is. i am really hoping you could help me, as i am sure it is something stupid i have missed. another thing, the IRQ is reported as 10 by windows, but BSD reports my USB controller to be on 10, so i disabled USB in my bios as i have the motherboard expansions, but no physical ports so it is of no use to me. then BSD reported my Compaq Netelligent PCI network card to be using IRQ 10, and now windows reports it to be on IRQ 9. My friend said i should note that i am not currently on the "freeBSD mailing list". any help with my problem would be GREATLY appreciated. Many thanks, and kind regards Jonathan Jacobs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
