Yes, I did add pcm to the kernel config, and I did make the device after installing
and rebooting to the new kernel. Like I said, I can see the card in dmesg, and kde
even opens the volume control on the taskbar, but I can get no sound.
My understanding is that SBLive cards are not supported, and if you get one to work
you're lucky. Is this correct, or should they work with no problem? Is there
anything I can try, or are there any resources to check?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi everyone,
I am trying to find out how to get sound configured on my machine
with FreeBSD 4.8 (or even 5.1) for that matter. I have a Creative
Soundblaster Live! card. I added sound to the kernel, rebooted, and
made the device(for 4.8). I can see the card in dmesg, and even get
a volume control (using KDE), but cannot play any sounds. “fstat |
grep dsp†shows artsd running. But running or not, I have no
sound.
I have searched the various related lists, checked the handbook,
google.com/bsd, etc, and can find no definite answer to my question.
I understand that SB Live isn’t supported, yet some people say that
have them set up and working, and that there is no reason they should
not work in BSD. I’m just wondering if there is anything that I
can do, or are any resources to check into.
For sound, did you add device pcm to your kernel config file? If you
did, then did you
cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV snd0
I have a Live 5.1 and an Audigy gamer. The live works just fine and
has for an awfully long time.
