I must have mistyped it. For some reason it doesn't pick up my card, and it works fine in windows so the card works. So basically I'd do this: add to my kernel: device pcm device sbc re-compile my kernel, rebooot, then cat /dev/sndstat. These are roughly the steps in the handbook and it doesn't seem to work for me. The handbook also mentions doing a MAKEDEV snd0 (from the /dev directory of course) but that is after the cat/dev/sndstat succeeds. Someone else on this list told me to do the MAKEDEV before. Neither produced any results. My dmesg doesn't list anything about sound. Any ideas?
