Pcm is not the entire sound card driver, only a common portion of it. Use "kldload snd_driver" and I believe every /boot/kernel/snd_* module will be loaded. *Then* see if your sound works. Once you get that working then you can start optimizing. Visit dmesg for clues as to exactly which module is needed for your hardware and try loading that. Rather than reboot try kldunload(8). Once I had mine figured out then in /kernel/loader.conf I put this one line: snd_es137x_load="YES" My system looks like this: # kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 11 0xc0100000 381650 kernel 2 1 0xc0482000 6190 snd_es137x.ko 3 2 0xc0489000 1d320 snd_pcm.ko 4 1 0xc04a7000 4a30c acpi.ko 5 1 0xc34bc000 2000 blank_saver.ko 6 1 0xc3578000 18000 linux.ko # Notice snd_es137x.ko caused snd_pcm.ko to be loaded without otherwise being told to load. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
