I've found that FreeBSD so far has supported every odd sound card I've thrown its way. Even (especially!) those on-board sound things built into motherboards and laptops these days. FreeBSD supports them all (and Windows usually doesn't without the special CD-Rom from the motherboard manufacturer.) Just add "device pcm" to the end of the kernel conf file, build a new kernel, and I'll bet almost any sound card will work on reboot. This question has been answered many times on this question list. You would have found your answer if you had searched the questions archive like you are supposed to do before posting here. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Nick Tonkin Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 2:19 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: options PNPBIOS unrecognized in 5.1-RELEASE Hello, I have been trying unsuccessfully to get my on board sound card working in 5.1 RELEASE. This is an Intel 82801BA ICH2 device on a D845HV motherboard. Following the instructions in the Handbook at "16.2.1.5 Onboard Sound" (which were confirmed by a couple of archived messages on the subject; but as usual no "solved" message), I added options PNPBIOS to my kernel conf file. The resulting error when I try to reconfig the kernel is: TELTRON: unknown option "PNPBIOS" thanks for any help. -- - nick ________________ Nick Tonkin {|8^)> _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
