I'm running FreeBSD 4.0, and I can't get my Sound Blaster 16 Pro PnP working. Here's what I've done so far (sorry, this is probably longer than it needs to be, I'm including little details in case my problem is with one of them): 1. Reconfigured the kernel. In /usr/src/sys/i386/conf I copied GENERIC to DKERNEL (and towards the top of DKERNEL I changed "ident GENERIC" to "ident DKERNEL"). I added the lines "device pcm" and "device sbc" to the end of DKERNEL. I ran: # /usr/sbin/config DKERNEL # cd ../../compile/DYKERNEL # make depend # make # make install And then rebooted. 2. Made device nodes. (The FreeBSD Handbook said to run “cat /dev/sndstat” after logging in, but I didn’t have a file called sndstat in /dev, and got an error message saying so. Later I found the info this command was supposed to bring up elsewhere, and it is : “FreeBSD AudioDriver (newpcm) Apr 8 2001 00:50:10 Installed devices: pcm0: <SB DSP 3.01> at io 0x220 irq5 drq 1:5 (1p/1r channels duplex)”.) I ran: # cd /dev # sh MAKEDEV snd0 And didn’t get any errors. I then tried playing .wav files from KDE to test it, and nothing happened. (Then, I tried running: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV snd0 just for the heck of it (this is the way mentioned in _The Complete FreeBSD_, the other is the way mentioned in the online Handbook). Didn’t do anything.) Any help would be much appreciated!
