I just realized that my sound on my laptop has disappeared during the last couple of weeks. I usually keep the volume all the way down. Current as of yesterday. AMS Tech Laptop with AMD k-6 300. This is part of the dmesg. > unknown6: <ESS ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive> at port 0x800-0x807 on isa0 > sbc0: <ESS ES1869> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x388-0x38b,0x330-0x331 irq 5 drq 1,0 on isa0 > pcm0: <SB DSP 3.01> on sbc0 > unknown7: <ESS ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive> at port 0x201 on isa0 My configuration is: options PNPBIOS device pcm0 device sbc0 The output of cat /dev/sndstat is: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Dec 18 1999 13:06:22 Installed devices: pcm0: <SB DSP 3.01> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:0 (1/1 channels duplex) I try to play anything even a cat gong.au>/dev/audio and it just sticks. I just did new sh MAKEDEV snd0 just in case something had changed. I scanned the /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sound readme's and haven't found a solution. Any ideas? I'm not sure if it has worked with the bridge driver or not. I really haven't been paying attention.:-( Thanks, ed To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
