I've been trying to get this to work for weeks no luck. I am using these same settings for Mickysoft and it works fine. The same settings do not work in Freebsd. Can anyone tell me why?

It still doesn't work. One time for a previous release of Freebsd someone on IRC gave me a line to add into my kernel config that made things work for him..and it worked for me. Didn't preserve it when I upgraded it and don't remember who it was. Its certainly not something thats in the docs. I've noticed in previous releases of Freebsd (I'm using 2.2.2-Rel now) that the reliability of the sound card working is a crap shoot at best. Whats the problem with this guys? :---==@==---==@==---==@==---: Joseph Beiter Hacking's just another word for nothing jwb@cosmic.org left to kludge.
