Add this to your loader.conf file: #sound_load=3D"YES" #PCM Sound Support =20 #snd_driver_load=3D"YES" # Loads every sound drivers it can find snd_maestro3=3D"YES" # Your driver hw.snd.maxautovchans=3D4 #sets up up to 4 virtual audio channels on demand #hw.snd.targetirqrate=3D36 # read the sound man page #hint.pcm.0.buffersize=3D"16384" #read the sound man page After you do that reboot and retest it. first thing is to check dmesg. dmesg|grep -i pcm and do the same for ess and maestro, you should see that it was detected. also you should try 'cat /dev/sndstat'. fire up X and well, anyways.... if everything is working put the driver in the kernel config file and comment it out in loader.conf. I'll see what I can do about your other questions later, right now I need a smoke and have work to do. >=20 > I've incuded the dmesg output from the new kernel boot in case you need t= o look at it > along with my current CUSTOM.hints file (maybe it'll help. . . :-?) >=20 > Anyway, thanks a lot for the new kernel, it works like a charm! >=20 > Bryan >
