I tried to instruct KDE to look for some other devices (audio0.0? dsp0.0, 0.1,0.2? There is a lot...). Nothing happened as you have foreseen. The weird thing is that it seems that GNOME sounds: it starts playing some chords, and sounds are associated with some events (clicks, open windows etc.) I cannot verify the whole sound system under Gnome yet, because FreeBSD did not install any software for playing music. The mixer is up, anyway. Pier
