(Oops, just noticed I missed uaudio). Also, KLDs are the preferred method for sound usage and that ISA cards likely won't need a hint (PNP). --Mat [1] It only loads the sounds modules that it knew about at compile time. Some sound modules are provided "third party" such as in the ports, such modules will be missed by this method and will have to be specifically loaded. -- I don't even know what street Canada is on. - Al Capone
