Maestro3.c is a driver > for "Allegro" cards, perhaps a closer fit for your 2E. snd_maestro_load="YES" --versus-- snd_maestro3_load="YES" doesn't seem to make any difference. i appreciate all your help. any other suggestions you might have are very welcome. there MUST be some way to get this working. also, i am wondering about this... cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) pcm0: <ESS Technology Maestro-2E> at I/O port 0x1400 irq 5 (4p/0r/4v channels duplex) note the 4p/0r/4v. to my knowledge this means that there are 4 channels for playing, 4 virtual channels and 0 (ie. none) available for recording. am i misinterpreting this? is anyone able to record with this card on FBSD 4.8? > "device sbc" is unnecessary in your kernel config. removed. thanks. > Tiarnan
