I was hoping that, since it claims to be SBPRO compatible, the sb drivers might work. pcm doesn't work since (AFAIK) it uses pnp, which is strictly an ISA phenomenon. > > You could, if you dare it and think you could manage, move to CURRENT > and help Cameron Grant out by testing his newpcm driver.

Getting anything from those people is far worse than pulling teeth. The standard refrain is Me: Can't get sound working ... Them: Click on My Computer, then.... Me: (Interupting the interuption) under FreeBSD and need programming data for the sound device. Them: FreeBSD? Is that a new Microsoft app? and it goes steadily downhill from there. Can't go to CURRENT on this box, unfortunately, either. I use it for a lot of work-related stuff, and I need it to be fairly stable. Will look at the newpcm code, though; thanks for the pointer. Will also write to Cameron and see if there's anything I *can* do to help. Thanks!
