I've been searching around google, I've tried different things still no sound. This is some of my info. I have a Sound Blaster Live with Digital Audio Output. I read the handbook, and tried to follow the page about setting up the Sound Card. I added device pcm to my kernel. Then I rebuilt the kernel. Here's my output, and it seems my computer recognizes the device. grep pcm /var/run/dmesg.boot pcm0: port 0xeec0-0xeedf irq 9 at device 9.0 on pci0 pcm0: Then I ran cd /dev sh MAKEDEV snd0 I cd to my /dev directory and did an ls -la to all the device nodes the handbook says I should have: here's the output. /dev#ls -la audio lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Apr 14 18:03 audio -> audio0 /dev#ls -la dsp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 4 Apr 14 18:03 dsp -> dsp0 /dev#ls -la dspW lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 5 Apr 14 18:03 dspW -> dspW0 /dev#ls -la midi ls: midi: No such file or directory /dev#ls -la mixer lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Apr 14 18:03 mixer -> mixer0 /dev#ls -la music lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 Apr 14 18:03 music -> music0 /dev#ls -la sequencer lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 10 Apr 14 18:03 sequencer -> sequencer0 /dev#ls -la pss lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 4 Apr 14 18:03 pss -> pss0 I noticed, it didn't create a midi device node, this might be my problem. I noticed other people had this problem, though I found no solutions for it. Here's some more output, hopefully this helps someone.. I hope I gave enough information, and any suggestions or replies would be appreciated. cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0xeec0 irq 9 (4p/2r/0v channels duplex) dmesg cal[2831]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `vnlru' to stop...stopped Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `bufdaemon' to stop...stopped Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `syncer' to stop...stopped syncing disks... 1 done Uptime: 2h36m18s Rebooting...
