I first tried loading the sbc driver and it loaded without any errors, but no kernel messages were generated and no /dev/dsp was created. I assumed it was the right driver since, according to apropos, it was the only driver with creative in the man page and it did support certain versions of ensoniq sound cards. Also, the box claims it's sound blaster compatible, but nothing happened. Looking at the man page for pcm, it claims that it supports a pci es1371 and that driver was automatically loaded as a dependency of sbc, but it still didn't detect the card. Eventually I looked through the kernel source and found a pci driver called es137x. I used kldload to load snd_es137x and now dmesg claims it has sound detected and sound works fine. My question is why this is not documented anywhere, no man page for the driver and the hardware compatibility guide for 4.9 and 5.2.1 both claim it's supported, but don't mention that driver. I'm using FreeBSD 5.2.1 --=20 I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
