The voxware drivers require additonal chipset drivers built into the kernel in order to work. So in addtion to "device snd" you would need an approperate chipset driver for your sound card, e.g. "device sb", "device sbxvi", and "device sbmidi" if your sound card was a SoundBlaster 16. However the voxware audio drivers have been unmaintained for a while and have most likely suffered bit-rot. You sould use the pcm(4) device for most sound cards today. Please follow the instructions at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound.html In the future, its a good idea to submit problems to questions@freebsd.org before using the GNATS database. --- Christopher Shumway cshumway@titan-project.org cshumway@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
