Sound card question

The Handbook has a page about adding sound support to your kernel (you'll need 'device pcm'): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html JB # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Sound card question
Is a PCI sound blaster card supported? I've found that FreeBSD 4.7 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.
