I'm hoping someone has it working on a similar moedel. IBM's website says "soundblaster pro compatible" at some points, and "crystal audio" in a couple, but I haven't been able to find anything else on their websites r the documentation that came with it (which was a ultra-newbie manual mostly with the trival diagnostics [problem: screen dark. solution: turn on unit]). I tried poking through windows, but it doesn't tell me any more about the device than that it's crystal. > > It indicates that games can treat it as a soundblaster for > > compatibility. > Again, without knowing which chip it is, that's difficult to say.

It also helps if > you write to the correct device :) boy is it fussy :) But catting that file is just a habit I got into forever ago to test sound. thanks hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
