Isn't that crazy? Getting the cd to play music: "Complete FreeBSD" has no step by step procedure to do this. Could any one help me - or follow me to the questions list and i'll ask there. Could someone at least tell me the questions to ask. dmesg command cites my integrated AC97 sound chip ( on my Abit VA6 mother board ), so i know FreeBSD sees the the soundchip. i have installed xcdplayer - but don't know if that was a good choice - it's man page says xcdplayer is for sgi and sun cd players - what's that mean? - it won't work w/ide cd players? i have no idea how to get my cd player playing music cds. previous question on the newsgroup have cited that i must recompile my kernel first - why? FreeBSD sees the sound chip. i think i need pca driver? not sure. thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
