Hi Michael, what card have you got? for example, I can see mine with pciconf -lv : [...] pcm0@pci0:27:0: class=0x040300 card=0x05b71014 chip=0x26688086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801FB/FR/FW/FRW Intel High DefiNition Audio Controller' class = multimedia [...] (look for 'class = multimedia' or pcm@ device... Also, after loading the snd modules, what does cat /dev/sndstat show? if the drivers has detected your card properly, you should get some info... For example , I get: [betom@ayiin] [Wed Feb 21 11:02:46 2007] /usr/home/betom $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit) Installed devices: pcm0: at memory 0xb0000000 irq 11 kld snd_hda [20070105_0038] (1p/1r/2v channels duplex default) _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome ...using the internet as it was originally intended... for the further research of pornography and pipebombs.
