i recently installed freebsd 4.2 and finally got the sound card to work, but when i try to play mp3s, i get the message /dev/dsp not configured, when i try to open a mixer program, i.e.., kmix, xmmix,etc., i get the message /dev/mixer not configured, as root i have changed the permissions and that does not work, as root i try to do the above and still get these messages. half the fun is trying to figure these obstacles out, but i'm impatient. i use mobile racks on my system so i can dedicate entire hard drives to linux, freebsd, and that god awful windoze. naturally everything works ok in windoze, and it was pretty easy to setup sound in linux, but bsd is a little more complicated.
to clarify, the sound card is working, when i line in sound it is heard, but trying to use any of the many mp3 players etc, i get the messages. please help! i'm hoping i will find the answer before you reply but i remain hopeful.
