I'm trying to get the sound working on my FreeBSD 3.2 system. I'm a little wet behind the
ears with this whole unix style of OS so please treat me gently. I have recompiled the kernal with
the following lines: controller snd0
device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1
device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330
The kernel compiled well and when I boot I see that it finds a Soundblaster 3.1. WHen I try to use an mp3 software package
or even try to run the free ware version of doom. I get ioctl error that /dev/dsp or /dev/mixer can't be open or accessed or something like
that. I was wondering if there needs to be any other tweaks that need to be done to get the sound working. In other words do I have to
modify any other files besides the Kernel file to get sound working? What is the relationship between the /dev/dsp and the programs that
us it? What does /dev/dsp do? I'm very curious about FreeBSD and how it works. Thank you for you time explaining/solving my problem.
