I had already turned off the PNPBIOS option. I tried your suggestion of recompiling with: options PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES Judging by dmesg, it made no difference. It also did not allow any of the software to access /dev/dsp. Same error messages as described in first post. I forgot to mention in my first post that I have also tried troubleshooting this by adding snd_maestro_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf. This made no difference either. I have since commented it out. This is a frustrating problem. The card is in a laptop, so it won't likely be easy to change. If I cannot get this sorted out, I may have to consider moving to an OS which will support the card. After all the time I put into learning about FBSD and Unix, I would really had to migrate away. I am willing to jump through flaming hoops and walk over burning coals to get /dev/dsp working. If anyone else has suggestions, please let me know. Thanks again! ------------------------ On Mon, 18 Aug 2003 01:54:26 -0700 (PDT) "Tiarnan O'Corrain" wrote: > Hello, > > try recompiling your kernel with > > options PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES > > set.
