 Hello,

I've had this working before, on my old HD. it has worked since 2.2.8 (if memory servers me)- 3.1. my Old HD failed so
I got another and put 3.3 on it.
 My problem is my system will not play mp3's now. I don't want to buy opensounds drivers just to play an mp3 (when my
CD player -ascd - works fine).
I have , don't laugh, a vibra16 SB , those big old ISA's.
 now, from my kernel, I've configured it ( the only way could get it) as:

controller      snd0

device sb0      at isa? port 0x220 irq 10 drq 3
device sbxvi0   at isa? drq 7
device  sbmidi0  at isa? port 0x388

***** the midi is configured incorrectly, but, I'm not too concerned, since I hate midi. if it's a problem, please
point it out :-) ******

I did the usual >   cd /dev
                              sh MAKEDEV /dev/snd0

> cat /dev/sndstat

VoxWare Sound Driver:3.5-alpha15-970902 (Wed Aug  6 22:58:35 PDT 1997 Amancio Hasty@rah.star-gate.com)
Config options:

Installed drivers:
Type 2: SoundBlaster
Type 6: SoundBlaster16
Type 7: SB16 MIDI


Card config:
SoundBlaster at 0x220 irq 10 drq 3
SoundBlaster16 at 0xffffffff irq 1 drq 7
(SB16 MIDI at 0x388 irq 1)

Audio devices:
0: SoundBlaster 16 4.13

Synth devices:

Midi devices:

Timers:
0: System clock

Mixers:
0: SoundBlaster

 I also remember doing in  /dev , sh MAKEDEV /dev/snd0 once before and somehow my system lost it ( I think it may be
due to power problems, but, it's worth mentioning ,just in case).

oh yeah, and if at anytime, any one of new folks ever doubt you can get a job anywhere with FreeBSD knowledge, don't
despair. I kinda fell into one last week. I get to run Nameservers for a NT based
Broadband Entertainment company that has over 800,000 unique hits a day (or two). Thank God I've stuck with FreeBSD for
the last few years. I've played with the various Linux dists and have to honestly say that none of them come close to
the logical structure that FreeBSD provides. rc. whatever1-3, run level this!

sorry, i've had to change my sleep schedule and woke up way too early

thanks,
Chris
