It sounds like you have an ISA PNP SB16, try the following lines in your kernel: device pcm device sbc Also, you may want to read the manual for pcm(4) and sbc(4). Also, you may want to read LINT in the configuring soundcards section for more info on the sound configuration in FreeBSD. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
