You don't get detailed instructions on doing that because they are already available in the Handbook as Chapter 9. You also need to become familiar with Chapter 21, which is called the Cutting Edge. You have to be able to rebuild your world and kernel, and then install them. The steps of cvsuping and doing the makes are covered in the Cutting Edge. The Handbook is a reference but /usr/src/UPDATING is the authority. If there is a difference in procedure between Handbook and UPDATING, you use UPDATING. You need "device pcm" added to your kernel config file. Then, you have to make the kernel and install it. You are using a release and may not have installed sources. There have been fixes added to cvs tag=RELENG_5_! but tag=. is a better choice until they release 5.2. Until they release 5.2, -curent is the real list for 5.x questions. I don't think it matters where a question about sound is sent. I have a number of CT-4810's. They really think they are an Ensoniq - 1471 or something close. > > Please reply to this address as well as the list That is usually done in my case. If you reply to only the list, it doesn't popup in the box I have for replies and may not see it. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
