What is the best alternative to the previous > "device pcm" line for the kernel? Read the comments in /usr/src/UPDATING. Then read the comments in /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES and /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES. The two NOTES files will show you all the devices that you can add to the kernel. There's also a section of the Handbook devoted to configuring sound. Read through that as well. And finally, I've posted a How-To / walkthrough for configuring sound on 4.x and 5.x. It's posted in the HowTo forum at http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/ Read through that as well. :) -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
