I don't use emu10k1 driver (emu10kx[1] instead), but since no one has replied yet (probably due to missing details): First I would check if modules are loaded and if card is recognized. Try following commands (you should see similar output with emu10k1): > blackacidevil: # kldstat > Id Refs Address Size Name > [...snip...] > 3 1 0xc0827000 11c90 snd_emu10kx.ko > [...snip...] Here I've got only 'snd_emu10kx' listed because 'sound' is compiled in the kernel. There should be module sound loaded on your system. > blackacidevil: # dmesg | grep pcm > pcm0: on emu10kx0 > pcm0: > blackacidevil: # cat /dev/sndstat > FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) > Installed devices: > pcm0: on emu10kx0 (16p/1r/0v channels duplex default) If all is OK try adjusting volume with /usr/sbin/mixer. If not try 'pciconf -lv' and search for sound card information. Also check emu10kx website (below) - scroll down to 'Basic troubleshooting tips'. Hope that helps a bit. Karol [1] emu10kx can be found: http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/ works great with 5.3-RELEASE-p4 and Audigy (class=0x040100 card=0x00511102 chip=0x00041102 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00) -- Karol Kwiatkowski
