It seems to me that the driver is working, and that your problems are somewhere higher in the stack. it is such a relief to know that /dev/dsp is not broken. i now just need to find out exactly what is preventing these other programs from accessing it. i suppose that the programs i am trying to use probably only require recompiling, but perhaps with different options...i'll have a look. thanks again, T.

To my knowledge, fluxbox does not have a default sound server. It is only a window manager, not a full desktop environment like Gnome or KDE.

Hi, apologies for replying to my own message, but an additional point... turn off PNPBIOS, and make sure that your BIOS is set to non PNP operating system.

Re: /dev/dsp inaccessible
Hmm, I don't know anything about fluxbox other than what it is, I've always run KDE or Gnome. I'm not sure you necessarily need one. I used mpg123 to play mp3's on a server once just for kicks, and I didn't have to have any kind of extra sound system. The documentation from the programs you want to run don't contain anything useful on this topic? Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hello Tiarnan, Thanks for your input. I had already turned off the PNPBIOS option. I tried your suggestion of recompiling with: options PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES Judging by dmesg, it made no difference. It also did not allow any of the software to access /dev/dsp. Same error messages as described in first post. I forgot to mention in my first post that I have also tried troubleshooting this by adding snd_maestro_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf. This made no difference either. I have since commented it out. This is a frustrating problem. The card is in a laptop, so it won't likely be easy to change. If I cannot get this sorted out, I may have to consider moving to an OS which will support the card. After all the time I put into learning about FBSD and Unix, I would really had to migrate away. I am willing to jump through flaming hoops and walk over burning coals to get /dev/dsp working. If anyone else has suggestions, please let me know. Thanks again!
